It's been a busy few weeks with writing and arranging new stuff. We had a great gig in Cobh, Cork last weekend at The Well House.
Today I recorded a new song called "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WOODY".
Times are just as bad today as they were in Woody Guthrie's time and I wanted to document this in some way, also tying it in with some things I've experienced personally over the past couple years. We've lost people, folks, and something is wrong deep down that needs to be fixed.
In the meantime, have a listen to the new song. Just go to my Music page by clicking on the heading at the top of this page.
The lyrics speak for themselves.

About ten years or so ago, I went through a very dark period in my life. My life today is much better, but that time is still a part of me. This past week, I wrote a new song about those days. I'm not really sure why I was suddenly driven to write about it, but...I did, and the song is called "SOMETHING GOOD" and you can listen to it by clicking on the "NEW" button at the top of this page.
Maybe it'll help others who feel despair, which can sometimes wear ya down. I'm still around to write about it - maybe my song will offer hope.
Most of all though, hope you enjoy listening to the work...

Heading into the studio in London next Saturday to get the new stuff down with Enrico Pinna at the desk. Muddy Waters invented electricity so I'm gonna use it.

I'm very shortly going into the studio to record a whole bunch of new songs. These are going to be pretty different from the stuff on the previous two albums in that
they very much come from a rock/ country/ jazz background. There will always be an element of traditional Irish song involved though. They'll be recorded with a full band.
I'm really excited about these new songs which have taken me more than a year to write. I've loved having the oul Telecaster out again, and pissing the neighbours off.
More news soon....
-Mick

The writing is going along nicely for the new album.
This album will be totally different from the previous two. Virtually all of the songs that are coming together are band-orientated so it's a new direction.
Looking forward to getting back in the studio pretty soon.

Well......"A HANGING" appears to be attracting quite the bit of controversy. I'm somewhat amused
It would appear that there are some who think I'm looking to bring back public hangings - - yerra, come on now......!!!
Y'know, Capital Punishment has always attracted an audience...still does. Look it up, folks.

BLUE PLAYS THE FIDDLE
A few people have asked me what this one is about. It's about the end of simpler times, the end of innocence . For many people I've known over the years this, for them, coincided with the death of Robert Kennedy.
Thanks for all the kind words about this song. I wasn't going to include it on the album, but I'm glad I did.
At the moment, friends, I'm playing around many of the folk clubs in London and the South East. Keep a look out for me. I'd love to see you all.

I had a wonderful night at DARTFORD FOLK CLUB last Tuesday night. I did a few songs before the main guests who were CLOUDSTREET from Australia.
The audience in Dartford is wonderful, appreciative and welcoming. The organisers - Pam, Alan and Colin are wonderful. They've kept the club running now for 37yrs. Amazing!!
I'm really looking forward to doing a few numbers before Irish Folk legend Andy Irvine in a couple of weeks time.
See ya soon,
Mick
