Hiya! Fáilte chuig mo Bhlog!! Welcome to my Blog! For ages I've avoided writing a "Blog" - even the use of the word was anathema to me -it sounds so unlyrical, ugly, even - and so I (perhaps foolishly, perhaps, snobbishly) resisted until, finally, I realised it was akin to holding out, Canute-like, against the use of the word "cool" or the wearing of hugely baggy trousers by young people...And so, here I am, contrite, humbled, writing on my Blog page. Oh, how the mighty have fallen...
Music and tapas! |

Last night, in the lovely Riverside Café in Skibbereen, the honey-voiced Breeda Murphy and I played our first gig together. 
After exhaustive rehearsals(!) we decided on a selection of my songs that were at the more gentle end of the spectrum, so as not to contribute to any heartburn or indigestion to the (munching) patrons!
The Riverside put on a delicious selection of tapas and wine (served up by the smiling and beautiful Jen and Angharad) and a nice-sized crowd of music-loving diners (of all ages! Young Connollys and young guitarist Finbarr KD) tucked in with obvious (to me, at any rate!) gusto!
It was really lovely, the two voices really work well together: Breeda has the ability to bring out the beauty of a song. Her voice is so pure and mellifluous. We'll be doing plenty more, I'm certain sure.
Thanks to Miranda for taking the photos - between bites! X
