Yo everyone. It’s my first blog of 2012 and I have a good feeling that it’s going to be an interesting year (though not because of the Mayan calender) because I am already very busy!
Last Wednesday I had a radio interview and played live on WDAR/96fm with Keith McLoughlin.
On Saturday I attended the second meeting of The Songwriter Club at The Morgan Hotel in Templebar. This meetup group was set up by, radio presenter Keith McLoughlin and Dundalk singer/songwriter Sinead McNally. The idea behind the club is to bring songwriters together every couple of months to chat about all sorts of songwriting stuff, share ideas, set up collaborating groups and also to have fun getting to know each other. I really enjoyed the afternoon and am already looking forward to the next meetup.

On Sunday I was on set in Irish female rapper, Lucci Minx’s new music video. The scenes that I was in were filmed around Windmill lane, where the brightly striking graffiti wall is in the Dublin Docklands. The video was directed by Hermillio Opel. Lucci’s dancers Olivia-Tracey Hogan and Carol Doyle were also in the video.

Here is Lucci Minx’s first music video for her song, I Don’t Care.
You can hear more of Lucci Minx’s music on her YouTube channel.
This evening I went to see the musical version of Dirty Dancing in The Grand Canal Theatre with Dani. Ok, perhaps I am a bit blonde but I was actually surprised that the audience was made of up 99 percent women. I found it both annoying and amusing that quite a few of the older ladies were loudly heckling and wolf whistling the actor who played Johnny. I thought the set design and costumes were outstanding. My favourite scene of the whole show was the ballroom finale. I almost wanted to jump down from my box on to the stage and dance with the cast but then I remembered I can’t dance when I’m sober.
