Music is a powerful thing…

I have been feeling a bit off lately. I have been feeling more tired, run down, less motivated, and everything outside of work has fallen to the waist side. Oh hello by the way, I know it has been a while but some stuff has changed. A more appealing (in my opinion) format for images, […]

Music therapy is such an alternative therapy with proven positive results for many.

Global crises, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, have highlighted the inadequacies of mental health services. These crises often disproportionately affect adolescents and young adults, who fear for their future, job prospects and their finances. These insecurities can be compounded with increased rates of unemployment, and often lead to more vulnerability in marginalised societal groups. Unfortunately, […]

Shlipknot!

Got to see another great concert last night in the 3Arena, Dublin. Slipknot rocked the place hard with great support from Behemoth. I’m not a reviewer so I’ll just say, a good gig, with great mates, that’s all you need! Thanks Slipknot and Behemoth for an awesome night. Take care of yourselves. Fitz

Ok 2020, let’s do this

This website was set up now some time ago but I’ve really let it sit on the sidelines. I’ve been spending too much time on thinking what way I want this to go instead of actually doing so. I think what I need to do is just get it out there and get going. I’m […]

Loss of a hero

It is sad to hear of the passing of the great Neil Peart. He is one of the greatest drummers and lyricists of our time and times to come. You can choose a ready guideIn some celestial voiceIf you choose not to decideYou still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fearsAnd kindness […]
