    First off – Happy birthday to my biggest little brother Barry who is ancient today ! hehe!!

    Anyway, so quite a productive week so far. Got all my college assignments finished YAY! just in time .. Looking at the Buffy Website now there is a lot more I could have done and some bits I should have put in – ah well I’ll know not to next time.

    Just finished doing some artwork for Pills For My Nerves who have a new single coming out.. happy with the results – I’m also going through the photos from my recent photoshoot with Hombre – Will have some up on Flickr later tonight! The Hombre website made by Nessy Productions 🙂 is almost nearly ready to go online too…

    This Saturday sees me and my crew of trusty manhelpers, film the proceedings at the Irish Youth Music Awards! Should be a great day – looking forward to it but really nervous that I don’t screw anything up!

    I also met with Tony from the band Chrome Horse last week – we’re going to be making a video for a song called ‘Death Row’ at the end of the month.

    Finally… seven nights til I’m going to Paris!!! As well as the Exhibition in the Louvre David LaChapelle has an exhibition on at the Monnaie De Paris.. I did my assignment last week for Media Analysis with my favourite trekkie, Ciaran Flanagan – should post it up here – We compare an image of George Lucas with David LaChapelle’s Courtney Love: Pieta

  • John “Irish” Earle

    John as I knew him
    John as I knew him

    For a long time I had looked for this file. It was an interview I had done with my friend John Earle. I found it today.

    I met John first in 2002 and probably spoke to him almost every day for the next four or five years.

    His little black book fascinated me, held tightly it was like a part of him. The names John had written in his book were names from the Rock n Roll history books. People he knew and had played his magical saxophone for. John’s memory was fading and the names he had written were names he never wanted to forget.

    He was thrilled when I asked him if I could chat with him and record the conversation about his days on the music circuit.

    I never knew he was known as “Irish”, that’s something I learned after he died. I just knew him as John.

    Rest in Peace

    The interview write up is here:
