The SongWriter Sessions@The Locke Bar, continues at The Locke Bar, George's Quay, Limerick 9.00pm July 15th with special guest Brendan Markham.
This Weeks Special Guest is singer/songwriter Brendan Markham.
BRENDAN MARKHAM has just released his debut solo album ‘False Witness’, a deeply soulful collection that cries out to be heard by more than just a few discerning ears. Brendan’s story is a fascinating one. In the late-nineties, his former band The Driven had the extremely good fortune of touring with Stereophonics, Green Day and Weezer. The Rathkeale combo also found time to rub Marilyn Manson up the wrong way, to give it some welly at the legendary Reading Festival and even outsell Oasis in the album charts across mainland Europe.
After the band split, Brendan was asked to record some music for a lingerie advert in Italy. Moving to Venice, he began work with drumming hero Manu Katché. He can also boast to having toured with Sting and Jeff Beck, not to mention recording a televised concert in an ancient Sicilian amphitheatre in Taormina as Mount Etna spewed hot molten lava in the background.
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.
There will also be an opportunity for getting a YouTube video of your performance made free of charge and uploaded to our site.
