Live room recording with the scandalously good Scott Flanigan, recorded by the ridiculous Ben Rawlins last month.  Just a snippet of some material to come.

The Work Song - Soozie Carla and Scott Flanigan

Live room recording of The Cardigans "Lovefool" reworked in a ragtime-y jazz style with the lovely Scott Flannigan on piano.  Recorded by the wonderful Ben Rawlins.

Live room recording, quick take of an old choon I wrote back in the day for a college project in DKIT, harmony arrangement by David Stalling with Scott Flannigan giving his take on it on the day.  Very little editing on this at all, I think it peaks a few times throughout recording, sorry x
Funny story behind the chirpy melody and vamping style piano juxtaposed to the melancholic lyrics... ask and I might tell you one day... over a bottle or two or vino that is ;) :P

Bit of fun giving a Bon Jovi track a bit of an old deep south bluesy jazzy feel... Rock out to the blues with this version of Livin' on a Prayer.  The phenomenal piano man Scott Flanigan working his magic yet again.  Hope you guys like it x

Live performance of Good Man by India.Arie.  Performed with Breifne Holohon on guitar and Brendan McCreanor on low whistle.  A hornpipe thrown in there for good measure.

Laid down some chilled bluesy, soulful, funky numbers with two incredible musicians Alan Kenna (guitar) and Donal Pywell (bass) in a live room recording by the wonderfully talented Ben Rawlins.  We just pressed record and laid down these tracks in one take and let the fates take control.  I think we captured a very calm aesthetic suited for some laid back trio drinks reception material... hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did getting to play with these stunning musicians.

To me, music is fluid architecture through which we can be transported back in time by melodies, memories and feelings or into the future of dreams yet to come true.
Performing practically since before I could talk, I have experience spanning nearly three decades having been reared in performing arts schools from a very young age, learning piano since the age of four and completing a Master of Music degree in Jazz Performance.
I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work alongside some amazing artists... (Outkast, Duran Duran, Ennio Morricone, Take That, Kodaline, The Dubliners, Mika, Reef, Walking on Cars, Bono, Brian Kennedy, Maverick Sabre, Angelique Kudjo, The Riptide Movement, Richie Buckley, Scott Flanigan, David Brophy are some of the names coming to the fore front of my mind)... and on some very prestigious stages... (3Arena, Main Stage Electric Picnic, National Concert Hall, Belfast Opera House, Ulster Hall, JJ Smyths, Round Room at the Mansion House, The Guinness Storehouse, Wexford Speigletent, The Olympia, Adare Manor and toured abroad as far reaching as India, Lithuania, Germany and Spain).
Thanks for taking time to read my bio and I look forward to sharing my music with you and hearing yours here on SoundCloud.
