Influences
The world and its elements are my milk.
Life lead me to guitar when I was 18, but before that came poems which then in turn became songs. I put down my easel and replaced it with more instruments. Then came a wood chisel and a Japanese saw...
I found wisdom and then influence from the folowing musicians ....
First and foremost, Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald. Thank you. AMEN
Regina Spektor, Tori Amos ( female god), Jewel, the most unreal vocalist ever! Tom Waits, Led Zeplin, Guns and Roses, Elvis, Josh Ritter (fuckin amazing live), the Corrs - so great live and Andrea has beautiful energy, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds(I can't not listen to him without bursting into tears),Mammas and papas, the Eagles, Tom petty, Mizz Franklin, Bat for lashes...amazing.... KT Tunstall, Elbow, Gillian Welshe, Kate Rusby, ROSE GERBER - my true true inspiration of the first kind, thank you, aimee mann, Bruce Springstein (only the seeger sessions) so many to name,
I love folk music and the whole movement and thought process behind folk music and all those jazz and blues musicians that will stand the course of time as their music becomes immortal. Pure legends...
Mike Knightson for being a good friend in all matters musical
Roddie Cleere for all his wonderful personality,
Aoife for challenging me,supporting me and putting up with me, my sisters for making me want to really suceed, My friends , Dave, Eef, Lor, Eoin, Dar, Tim, Graham, Graham no. 2, and all of which you all now who you are. And lastly, Brian Mc Cullen for spiritual guidance and keeping me grounded in life.
