There’ll be a muisc and quiz night extravangaza and a heck of a lot more so good friend and sound man Peter Donegan can go and do his 3rd half marthon for Temple street Childrens hospital.

Wanna know What Temple Street Will do With The Dollars ?
This year we are hoping to raise €60,000 to purchase 4 diathermy machines to be used in theatre. These machines are necessary pieces of equipment for the operating theatre and provide optimal support for operative procedures in virtually all medical fields. The diathermy machine is used in theatre and is employed in a controlled manner during surgery to seal small blood vessels by coagulation and to cut through layers of tissue.

Now Taking Bookings For 2013

guitar player singer, martin byrne

Far easier to quote another website when writing about myself. But this one reads like so:

Looking To Hire A Singer/ Guitar Player For Your Gig ?

Pubs, clubs, concerts or venues. Home or abroad. Should you need a music man or band for your gig ? Then look no further and meet guitar player, singer and legendary all round nice guy Martin Byrne from Skerries, North County Dublin.

Traditional, Irish, Folk is how some have described Martin’s genre. Below however is the live music sessions recorded at The Black Bull Inn, Drogheda. Take a scroll trough the tracks and see what you think….

As a by the way, Martin was voted 2010 [West Limerick 102 fm Annual Awards] Singer/ Songwriter of the Year and his album My Ireland released the same year is more than worthwhile a listen.

Further information, a chat or booking:

The Gathering, My Ireland

Dear Martin

Thanks for your video and song Martin which was forwarded to The Gathering Ireland team via Kevin Coleman and Michele Whelan (Boyne Valley Gathering Coordinator).

Some really stunning images of Ireland in there that lots of people at home and abroad will connect with.  The Gathering Ireland 2013 project cannot endorse any one particular song or video, but because we have received a number of songs which are relevant to The Gathering Ireland, we have now decided to create a ‘Your Songs’ playlist to host these songs on The Gathering Ireland YouTube channel.   Your song is on http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL44DvX1ZZ5Yi6AyXjvv_Rdpll6Znu6u5c .

Although yours is the first song in this new playlist, hopefully it will be the first of many.

Kind regards
Gráinne
