And how are we finding ourselves in Sept.....?
I know it,s still raining but it,s sort of romantic rain.........................
Our going out time absolutely precious due to the minding of smallies
so making sure it is crammed with mind/soul nourishment including..................No
Man,s Land at the Gate Theatre..............everybody in it is great
but David Bradley is astonishing........................also just
heard about an Art Raid on at the end of the month.....Iv,e never
been to one before but apparently the deal is that you buy a ticket
and at the end of the evening a siren goes off and you get to steal
the art...........sounds like a good chance to release your inner
cat burgler...............it is being run by this great young dublin
graffiti artist and he has gathered alot of interesting pieces ......it
is on 24th and 25th sept and you can buy a ticket from the graffitti
shop in temple bar......................unfortunately could not
get to see My Bloody Valentine at the weekend but will make sure
to see them somewhere else as they continue their tour
the new songs are coming on sprightly
a chance to hear one or two this month...Friday 5th sept Ballinamore,Co.
Leitrim
Sat 20th Sept Late Lounge, Kildare (full Band)
Fri 26th Sept Bally bofey, Co. Donegal

a huge desire to upsticks and move again so the little jaunts around
the country will keep me happy for now.....................................................thank
you to the folk who came out to see us in Drogheda and to the Spook
of the Thirteenth Lock who opened up and to Sandra for looking after
us...................................................
soon my pretties

GREETINGS FROM THE OCEAN BED JULY 16th 2008
Hola and goodday
We have been invited to play in the salubrious surroundings of Bantry
House,West Cork this coming Saturday July 19th ( further info available
from mdklive@eircom.net ) it will be an acoustic show featuring
my new flamenco dress.....for those of you who are feeling classy..................!
Otherwise all well. i did promise to write at the beginning of the
month so I,m nearly on the timing...............settled back into
Irish ways with the knowledge that as soon as we can coax all the
family into a moving vehicle we will be off again................travelling
suits us , and even more than just moving, settling somewhere for
half a year suits us perfectly. Of course the days go by as days
do,some more slowly than others, but the chunk of time is the blink
of an eye.
One of the most interesting things about the move was the idea of
identity..................it was inspiring ( also challenging and
sometimes isolating) to be somewhere out of your (one,s ) normality.
The people you meet have no preconceptions about you , there is
no preassigned role to play.The Spanish people we became closest
to had a particularly strong sense of place..............firstly
they were from their town,secondly Andalucian,thirdly Spanish,fourthly
European..............and many other subtle distinctions of course........it
has been roaming around my brain and pushing me to look at Ireland
through a different lens.....................also a big part of
going away I suppose.....................
we,ve been asked to do a couple more shows that I fancy over the
summer ( I,ll send word ) ...............
tangentially ( spelling looks dodge, too tired to look for dictionary,
answers in an relpy email please..)
1. Cormac McCarthy- The Road - is huge
2.everyone needs to laugh HAVE YOU SEEN NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE YET? It,s
been around for a while but even second viewing is a positive vibration
3. If you are in Ireland right now you should really try to see
Bill Viola,s show in the Galway Arts Festival. I haven,t seen it
yet but can,t wait

GREETINGS FROM THE OCEAN BED 17TH APRIL 2008
Hola Compadres
I am sitting looking across at the (my) mountain as I write and
consider myself one of the luckiest of people. We have moved to
Andalucia, Spain for a while seeking a simpler life and inspiration
from a culture
we adore.
We have found much to hold on to.
Life is never simple for long but we have less of the distractions
of home and are surrounded by beautiful countryside and enough sunshine
to enjoy the beauty.
Arriving somewhere and not knowing anyone has meant we have been
each others company.Time it,s hard to make or find at home and a
great way to get to know the newest member of our family.
Hard to describe really how beautiful it is here or how friendly
the people, but it,s not a lyrical or whimsical beauty, it,s a practical
industrious place, but one where the people still have time for
themselves and for each other. Long may it last.
The new album is cooking nicely in the Andalucian frying pan -
a joyful one.
Much more to tell ,of the majestic flamenco music we are seeing
and hearing; KK,s newest obsession
(Picasso ,of course) ;that we can sit on a balcony and see the Earth
revolving (not feel it, Gregory,s Girl anyone?) but see it because
the stars move across the mountain in front of us; the overwhelming
beauty of the Alhambra……………………
Nothing is surer than that everything will change , and what are
we saving ourselves for anyway….
