My Music....

[allrevvedup]

Welcome once again to the MLUKFC has got talent section where I try my best to display a small dose of talent not seen since...i'll get back to you on that one!

The first one is called Heaven and Everything and was written by Ger Ryan. We worked together a few years ago and finally got around recently to working again...so these two songs are well worked...

It's a fast paced song, which will eventually have more backing vocals and maybe some other instruments

The next song is called Leave A Light on...a slower song, which i tried to do six months ago but while it was good we didn't really get it right...until today

http://rapidshare.com/files/131207067/02_Leave_A_Light_On.wma.html

Hope you enjoy them...if anyone has a problem downloadin them let me know.

Thanks to Eddy Reilly at Applecore Studios in Kingswood, Dublin for producing it...and to Ger for tagging along and nailing the guitar parts

[SW31]

[MeatGrl1]

Sadly those links don't work, they go to the site and tell me there is an error, but I think I know, Leave A Light On, if it is the same Michael sang it and can be found on his 1995 album One Careful Owner, one of my personal favourites. If not then I've jumped the gun :p, no pun intended lol.

[allrevvedup]

Leave a light on was ages ago...hence why it probably isn't still available on rapidshare...:D

Click on the links on my last messages, it should work now.

Distance is one i like the more i hear it.

As for Michael Ball, i can safely say i have never recorded one of his songs...

[~Helen~]

Lol no Emma this is quite different to the Michael Ball one, though I do know the song you mean ...

if the rapid share links don't work, I find Mike's Myspace works just fine :-)

[allrevvedup]

I find Mike's Myspace works just fine :-)

so do i...but then i run it so there ya go!

[mszee]

Well, I was blasting this into my ears the other day (headphones on full blast) as Dan came behind and I saw him from the corner of my eye and starting screaming...so he asked if it was you and said it was pretty good and I, of course, am a part time groupie...enough said...

[allrevvedup]

my song help to bring about domestic bliss...the ones that aren't about breaking up that is:D

[mszee]

:lmao:

[allrevvedup]

Proudly presenting the newest of songs from me called Always Been You

Recorded again by Rohan

Me and Rohan on the guitars, Rohan as Mr Tambourine Man

and the backing vocals by me...yes my voice does go that high.

If there's more then 10 downloads you can find it on myspace page.

Enjoy...

[allrevvedup]

Proudly presenting the brand new song Nightmare (Sunrise)

I hadn't appreciated how short it was but it's just something that turned into a very simple arrangement and a very nice guitar piece at the end by Rohan.


Produced again by Rohan, music and lyrics by me. It was recorded in the Great Wall of Sound studio in Dublin on the 6th November 2009.

I hope you enjoy it and again feel free to pass it along to friends,family, neighbours, enemies, saints, sinners and anyone else that you can think of.

There are more songs don't worry and they will be up in the coming weeks, for now let me know what you think.

This is a good song...we liked it...:up:

[allrevvedup]

I should have really put this up a couple of weeks ago but...

Anyway I have a new song as a preview for the forthcoming 5 track EP Making a Mess

It's called Because of Me and was recorded in March of this year in Dublin and Produced by Rohan.

At the moment I only have it up on MySpace, so feel free to take a listen and comment but if anyone wants to have a copy of it, send me a PM or email and I can send it to you.

To get ahead of myself, I rarely do, I'm also working on an album of which I have about 9 songs worked out. No release or record date for it yet but I'm hoping it turns into something special that actually has a story to it.

[allrevvedup]

Ladies and gents - I am very pleased to present my new 5 track EP Making A Mess.


Recorded during February and March of this year in the Great Wall Of Sound Studio in Dublin, it is once again Produced by Rohan.

Just found out this morning that I'm featured in the current issue of Hot Press Magazine.

There's a review of a few songs from the album on page 32.

[allrevvedup]

I'll try to scan the review and put it up here later tonight

For those that do not know, Hot Press is the biggest Music Magazine on sale in Ireland and was one of the first to champion U2 when they started off.

[allrevvedup]

As promised here's the review from Jackie Hayden:

Ok, A few weeks ago, November 22nd to be precise, myself and a few of my friends from PayPal (Andrew, Ed and Jen) played on a show called Phoenix Unplugged on Phoenix 92.5 FM which is based in West Dublin.

We played two songs, c'mon over and easy love

[allrevvedup]

Hey folks,

A couple of weeks ago on a cold evening myself and Mr Andrew Jarrett recorded a spot on Balcony TV where we performed Between the lost and the found from Road Trip Love Affair.

You can find the video here...

It's supposed to be going up on itunes soon as well, so am trying to find out when.

* I forgot to add a couple of things:

This is also featured on Amazon.com as well as .co.uk.
