We're still collecting donations
On the 3rd June 2020 we'd raised £1,000 with 30 supporters in 35 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for millions of musicians and now we have to change how we provide our service

I will use this to lay down further tracks for my first E.P
I want to create a recording about the story of Joe Gleeson. A man who’s story deserves to be recognised, many will have heard his story and my demo, but for those who do not know;
In 1916 50 young men and women from Liverpool joined the fight to over throw Britain’s rule in Ireland.
The republican flag that was raised over the GPO in Dublin during the rising was done so by one of those Liverpool volunteers , Joe Gleeson.
As we all know this is a very uncertain time and usually I could save up the pay I receive from gigs to invest in my future projects , which in reality , is now looking like a long way off.
This is why I have changed my path and hopefully will be supported in this venture
I want to bring in the use of other musicians on this and get this song recorded professionally in the way it deserves. Along with my own song I will be recording an additional 2 more traditional Irish songs.
If this is successful, this will be a platform for an EP or even an album .
The funds will pay for the recordings , instrumentalists , art work and production of cds /vinyl , marketing and so forth
