SongWriter Sessions @ The Locke Bar
Thursday 22nd April 2010 9.00pm

The SongWriterSessions@TheLockeBar, continues upstairs at The Locke Bar, George's Quay, Limerick 9.00pm April 22nd.

This weeks special guest is singer songwriter Ray Laffan and his band Blind Vision.

Ray Laffan has been playing music since he was a child, he started with Traditional Irish, did a couple of years of classical music training on concert flute.
Started playing Guitar in College and started writing some stuff after that and stopped again when life started getting busy.

Eventually started playing a bit of session music in his local and this grew into a small band.

From there he started writing his own material again and like riding a bike, it seemed to come naturally. The new material was always well received at the 'three songs' nights and also at the 'Limerick Songwriter's' nights in the Locke Bar.

He believed in the strength of the material, he just needed a Drums and Bass player that felt the same way about the material. This happened with very little effort on his part so he decided to go with the flow and form the band 'Blind Vision'

He thought of the name last year while at Oxygen for no particular reason and felt it was a good name for a band.

As Usual all aspiring songwriters are invited to attend and play there songs in front of a live audience. All types of music and singers are welcome, a limited amount of instruments will be available for use on the night.
