MP3 Irish Mythen - Sweet Necessity
11 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Modern Folk, FOLK: Power-folk
Details:
Her earliest musical influences were sounds of Makem and Clancy, Planxty and Bob Dylan being played by her parents as they drove around the Caribbean island of Trinidad where she lived as a child. She later moved to the Middle East with her parents and this is where she took up the guitar, singing and writing songs.
After completing her secondary education Irish went on to the Ballyfermot “rock School” for 2 years where she studied musical performance as well as the practical side of the music industry.
1996 saw her based in Sweden to start what would be a 4 year tour of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and the U.K. She also started work on her debut album “Republic of One” which she recorded in Bohus Studios just outside Gothenburg, Sweden.
In 2000 she moved to Australia where she quickly established a large and loyal following. Again festivals and some large support slots would follow.
2003 saw the release of “Appreciate” on Myth Records. It was recorded at Planet Studios in Subiaco Perth Western Australia.
Irish was in the studio again June 2006 to finish recording her new album “Fallen me” with Paul Mills at the Millstream Studio in Toronto, Canada.
She has played all over the world sharing stages with such artists as Tom Paxton, Paul Brady, The Dubliners, and this summer saw her sharing the stage with some of the top Canadian acts.
Christy Moore once told her to “….keep the head down because you’re going to sore”
