Hi Everyone,


Mike Dunbar put me on to this site, quite some time ago, but here in Ireland things have their own pace... smirk

Anyway, I've been reading thru the different posts and topics the last few days (em... nights, rather) and I thought I'd introduce myself and let the great community this seems to be know I'm here (How did you ever manage without me here before??? lol...)

I'm Michael, Singer/songwriter... Country, Folk... Country/Folk... folkish Country... heck, I wear a hat - I call it Country. smile

There's only two kinds of music in my world, anyway. I either like it, or I don't. If it 'pulls at the string' for you, then that's it. No explanation needed as to why or why not. Turns out an acoustic(ish) setup of pickers who like what they're doing and some songs that are worth being sung and listened to does just that for me. Think Cash, Guy Clark, Prine... you get the drift...

As gigs here in Ireland on pub/hotel level almost always include backtracks, and I had decided at some early point in that game that I wanted at least my own music and sound to be 'karaoke-ing' to, I acquired this little recording studio over the years, the relevant skills included. By no means top of the drawer, either of the aforementioned, but it suits me fine.

I'd been stuck in that scene for a a while too long, so I'm getting out of it.

Good job the pub scene is dead, over here. It's time to play with real musicians again, as I had always done before I had to succombe to the requirements if I wanted the gig.

So, I'm in the process of putting a new album together, and plan to gig that with a small setup of pickers (Upright, Fiddle, maybe another guitar/mandolin player, evtl. a drummer/percussionist). I'm looking for pro's, or semi-pro's who work like that and can expect to be treated like that - professionals.

I wonder are there any musicians there who'd like to become part of a project, that promises to be tons of fun and a great experience for anyone involved, in any case... smile

Folks from Nashville ( or anywhere else, for that matter) - if you have a Granny who once had a hamster who's ancestors stemmed from Ireland, it's easy enough to obtain work permits here.

Thought I'd throw this outta there, and see what's thrown back at me... smile

So "Hello from Ireland", once again - Let's see what we can do for each other, besides of having the craic and make friends... smile


Best Wishes

Michael
