Spotify Wrapped for 2023. I am the number one artist for 104 people. That's a lot of people! Thank you, whoever you are :) Do say hello in the comments! 😃

Freezing fog in Ballkna this morning

Cathal Connolly With Support From Doppler – Ballina Arts Centre Local singer-songwriter Cathal Connolly takes to the stage for his first headline show on November 10th. Cathal Connolly’s music is a heartfelt blend of folk and pop, with catchy melodies and honest, relatable lyrics. His acoustic guitar-driven sound creates an intimate atmosphere, inviting list...

From the Slowdive sound check at The National Stadium earlier this afternoon. I didn't recognise the first song, the second song was Catch The Breeze. They sounded great...

My passport expired today. As a once in a ten year event, surely, surely, the world will want to know.

I've just reached 2K followers! Thank you for continuing support. I could never have made it without each and every one of you. 🙏🤗🎉

Myself and Downtown Detroit (Johnny Mullen) at Charlie Cunningham in Liberty Hall Theatre, Dublin, last night. Great to see both Charlie & Johnny!

If you'd like to hear a track from it, post a note in the comments below. So far as I can tell, Facebook will not publicise this post if I encourage you to go off-platform., which means you won't see it...

I've been on Twitter for a few years now, but I've never been tweeted about this much before. I wonder if it's connected to the Elon Musk takeover. 🤔

Hey there. Here's a demo of On The Road you might like...just me on acoustic guitar. Tell me what you think of it in the comments below. You can hear the released version on Spotify, if you haven't heard it already.

Wrapped for Artists The standout moments of the year. Shout out to all the fans on Spotify.

I bought a CD online by Isbells - their third album, Billy. From a seller on the continent. Germany, I think. Instead they sent me an album by a band called "Kiss the a**s of a black cat". A real band with a real name, I kid you not. It was a test for witchcraft in the middle ages, apparently. Chantal Acda have you heard of them?

Late evening in Enniscrone

I fractured a bone in my little finger while on a meditation retreat last week. Settling the mind my ass! Who said meditation was all about focussing on the breath, eh 😀

It makes guitar playing slightly tricky, but hey.

In London for a few days. On the corner of Vivian Road and Roman Road. They're shooting a drama for the BBC. All very hush-hush. We'll find out in a year's time!

From last night's show at the arts centre

It's tonight!

From rehearsals at the Arts Centre last night.

Hundreds (rehearsals) From the recent rehearsals at Ballina Arts Centre - playing live there on Saturday 30/07/2022

SEE THE NEW DATE!!!!

Some unfortunate news...one of the acts for Saturday 23rd has Covid, so we've decided to postpone the show by a week. It will now take place on Saturday July 30 at 8pm as before, that's the bank holiday weekend. I hope you can still make it, if you were planning to come...apologies for the short notice to the change in plan.

I’ll be on The Tommy Marren Show on Midwest Radio tomorrow (Monday) some time after 10am. Listen in!

This week's Western People

I didn't know Motörhead released an album called Bastards! I wonder if it was any good...

Somewhere in Ireland, as George Harrison might have said

Listening to Other Side by Fragile Audio. It's still a cracking track, even after all these years. Love the guitar on it.

For no apparent reason, in my home town of Ballina, bobdylans is slang for money, and alpacino (or alp for short) is slang for gobsh*te. I'd love to post a picture of either man for this story but I am short on the bobdylans right now. The images are copyrighted...

backinhumanform updated their info in the about section.

The CD of the album is here. It’s already available on all streaming platforms, but if you just have to have a CD…then DM me with your details. Payment by PayPal.

It costs €10 + €2 postage if you are in Ireland; otherwise, ask me about postage costs! There are 11 tracks on the album. Best, Joe.

Just got my guitar back from in Sligo. Check out the cool “black tie” middle pickup. Thanks Shane for doing such a top job. Looking forward to playing again this summer!
