That reggae beat suits this song so well, Stephen. Such an entertaining arrangement and, as always, great storytelling.

DEAD MAN BLUES

Dead Man Blues

I launched my first CD at the Black Box 23.9.10. It was a great night. The place was packed, thanks to all the airplay (free tickets, but no free drink) and Gerry Anderson came along to introduce the show. This was praise indeed and some support.

There were six in the Moon Shed that night: Catherine Sands, Michael Sands, Rohan Young, John McKeever, Barry Tipping and Myself. (The wee wee man sat with his mates and had a pint).
The next day five of us came into Radio Ulster, in Ormeau Avenue to play live and do an interview with Gerry.

Grateful as ever to Gerry and all the band. To John, Michael, Rohan, Catherine and Barry. Wonderful memories. 


Gerry Anderso Interview 24.9.10

Here is a new song from my next album
Called DUGGIE DUBH (Duggie Doo, a play on words)
About an Irish  Highway Man from 1792.

In court he denies all knowledge of wrong doing
Saying “It wasn’t me, I wasn’t there, I was miles from here.”

Best for now,

_5. DUGGIE DUBH By Randall Stephen Hall

If you had said to me in 2009 that I would become more involved in song writing and playing music live, I would have said "Catch yourself on . . ." But here I am, five years later, still at it, after a lay off of about thirty years or so.

I could almost be described as an unintentional musician. One thing just led to another . . .

I still work as an illustrator, poet and storyteller.

Can you call that work?

Good question . . .
