20 years of the fantastic Sheelanagig 😃
I'm a fan first, but I've been lucky enough to be 1st-call drum dep for at least 18 of those years.

Get along to your nearest show. Rumour has it I may be involved in some of them...

20 years of music, fun, merriment, service stations, and a grand total of 12 band members (past and present) — it's been a wild ride! Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. Come celebrate our anniversary and the release of our latest recording with us this autumn — tickets are in the comments! Also out today: our brand new album St Congar's Walking Stick. Head over to your streaming platform of choice and give it a spin. See you on the road!

Here's a lovely tune I recorded for Michael Dandorfer

Michael went full-residential and stayed at the Air BnB on the same estate as my studio, 2mins walk away. I highly recommended it as a full-immersion recording experience:

This was a fun and unusual project. The Woodlanders recruited fantastic fiddle player Sam Draper and decided to add him to their already completed and (digitally) released album. We carved out space for him (both sonically and in time) and let him rip! Go and have a listen - it's like he was always there :-) 🎻🎻🎻

11 track album
