The Joy Between

Recorded on the Falcon with an early Cubase version. I had heard Ride On by Christy Moore and for some reason the title stuck in my mind almost subconsciously. I played drums myself with brushes and fretless bass as well as everything else apart from the great Eddie Armer on Harmonica. the song is about the cheap illusion of fame and how the real hero's are those who live ordinary life's.


Ride On

Recorded on the Falcon and an early Cubase version. The track went through many incarnations and there is even a version with a nice wailing guitar solo on. However I decided to completely change tack to a more mellow vibe. performed and played by myself. 

Insecure Lover

<P sizcache="41" sizset="90">This track is written and sung by Tom Sarsfield a great buddy and talented artist. 
Please check out his music at - <A href="http://www.myspace.com/tommysarsfield" target=_blank rel=nofollow>www.myspace.com/tommysarsfield</A> - The song is a plea to be heard, a plaintive request for a fair chance to entertain. A level playing field in a live gig situation where you leave yourself vulnerable when playing your own compostions. 
Competing with the jukebox mentality of many revellers. It was written after a particularly frustrating evening in the company of aforementioned open minded funsters. 
I play the Bass and E/Guitar on this song.


Give us a break Tom Sarsfield and BrenCanty

An experiment in writing a commercial dance tune and there are many different versions in existence. It was recorded in my pal Red Hughes's studio in Primrose Hill. I even approached the local Gospel Church Choir to record the vocals but they declined, saying the content was too racy and secular. The great musicians featured include - Mike Gingold on Tenor Sax , John Wyberg on Trumpet and the great John Ward on Hammond - Keyboard Solo only.

Push It

Written for my Brother Bazz, the one and only, a fine and mighty fella!!!
With Thanks to Anne Marie and Priscilla for the great vocalising

A Love Like This/ With Janos Bajtala Piano

BrenCanty - Singer, Songwriter, Musician and Producer

Born in London to Irish parents.

Brendan first caught the musical bug crawling inside the family gramophone and playing with the electric's. It resulted in a lifelong membership of the curly hair club. 
He chose drums as his first instrument before switching to guitar in his early teens. 
Mum bought him an electric from Woolworths. It cost £20. 

He was fired up by Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Tamla Motown and the great music he heard on Radio One and the Pirate Radio Station's Radio Luxemburg and Radio Caroline. 
He has played Guitar and Bass Guitar with lots of bands over the years. Some of those he has worked with include Yellow Bell and Rhythm Rising, featuring the great band leader and drummer Steve Laffy. Brendan has also worked with The Laughing Buddah's a popular Rhythm and Blues Band. Others include MOT'O the World Music outfit and Manna-Live, also with Steve Laffy. Brendan has also worked with the late Nico Korner, guitarist son of Alexis Korner. More recently he has played Bass Guitar with The Guy Tortora Band.

Brendan loves the Guitar and admires those who play economically and with feeling. People like BB King, Peter Green and Paul Kossoff. he also likes to listen to Jazz Guitar players like Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass and Ernest Ranglin.Andre Segovia and Paco Pena are other favourites. 

Brendan says he is blessed and cursed with the need for music. Blessed and rescued from loneliness because he can always turn to the guitar in times of trouble.
Cursed because he believes he will never be good enough. And so it goes. The only road to travel on. Believing that music can heal like no other. 

Brendan's Website is nearing completion and will be detailed here when its ready. 

 Hope you enjoy the tracks.
