Is this the end my friend.

I’ve noticed in the last while that it is becoming more and more difficult to write blogs, I guess with the album out next week I feel like the journey is coming to an end just as I feel this Virgin Blog Diary is coming to an end. I feel like I am coming around the bend and into the home straight. ...

World Champions!!

You are expected to be prominent as a prominent at a prominent affair but the chances of sitting ringside with Don King at the Klitschko corner is something you have to savour! Two men fighting in a ring is for a lot of people barbaric and for others inexplicable, this was my first fight so I wanted to find out for myself. ...

If God calls tell him I got the message! I am trying to think of what stimulates me at the moment, I think I am in post-traumatic-studio-shock! I walk around with a certain sense of numbness to everything, which used to stimulate me. ...

The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

Have you noticed how people are leaving the flowers out of their conversation, flowers is a metaphor for slight exaggerations or un-truths, which enhance the real truth. ...

The text messages were so panic stricken I was panicked what do I do the server crashed all the mails that people are trying to send me at the moment are running like a freight train towards a brick wall! "NO ENTRY" mails will be diverted into the unknown and the other wise uninteresting 50,000 spam ...

Sunday Morning Coming down, Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday, Tell me why I don't like Mondays? Wednesday Girl!

Everything at the moment is climaxing to harmony, the clocks are showing 21:21, the roads have merged to highways and the those who once stood in the way seem to urge me on and calmly push the boat further up stream. ...

The Film Breaking Glass, was probably a turning point for me as a kid, that and the music which accompanied the film starring Hazel O' Connor. I never saw films as music providers until I started to want to hear the rest of the song, which sometimes carried more emotion than the film itself. Hazel O' Connor was and still is a product of the seventies punk scene, her attitude was revolting to some but endearing to others especially me. ...

Tattered blues!

Did you ever get the feeling that it's all going faster than you can control or steer, I remember running down the side of a hill as a kid and because my boots had no grip and it was wet I started getting faster and faster and faster! The only thing to do was to try and stay upright and avoid all obstacles at all cost!

Or the time I drove back home from a solo show, in ...

Lights, Camera, Action!

Sometimes you work on music so long that it is difficult to know what you really think you need to separate the mind from the heart! What I mean by that is that you need to only allow yourself to hear the emotion if the songs speaks to you in the way that you are trying to tell the story then everything else can be fixed. ...

"Caint Ceoil agus Crack Cocaine!" An Irish expression to describe a good night out is "Caint, Ceoil and Craic go leor!"(I hope I spelt it right, my Irish is rusty), it means Talk, Music and lots of fun! But on the street where we are working at the moment is little talk much music and a much different type of craic than the one to be found in the Irish expression. ...
