Welcome to the 1st edition of my blog for 2022.. Happy New Year!!
It's been 6 months since I posted my last blog and I'm happy to say it's been a wonderful 6 months living here in Gearhanagoul, out in the wilds, pure inspiration! It's been a hugely creative time for me, I wrote a number of new songs for my album, upgraded my studio to record said album and am constantly working on keeping my live show updated for a future tour. It's been 7 years since my
1st show in the Pav in 2015 and 5 years since I did
my last show in The Haven in 2017 so to say I'm itching to go again would be an understatement! Recently I recorded 3 rough guide tracks of some new material which I uploaded to
my Soundcloud page for demo purposes. They can also be heard on
my music page.
I also upgraded my camera kit to include a Canon Eos M50 MKII and a GoPro Hero 10 so I've really upped my game in that field! I'm also upgrading my knowledge by doing online photography courses and watching tutorials on youtube in preparation for my trip to Iceland.
Here's a recent photo I took with the Canon camera on the beautiful Beara Peninsula, Cork, Ireland.
and here's a video I took with my GoPro attached to the roof of my van on that same drive around the Beara Peninsula (which I sped up by a factor of 20x)
I also posted a new Photo Gallery of 111 photos from 2021 which you can find in
my Photos Page
My move to Vimeo didn't work out, a complete waste of time and money in fact but a lesson well learned all the same. Anyway I moved all my videos back onto
my Youtube channel where they will stay forever more! Sharing and subscribing is always welcome!
and last but by no means least I turn 55 years young in a week so I decided to celebrate this milestone in my life by treating myself to a bucket list holiday to Iceland! It's always been a dream of mine to visit Iceland and even more so since I got into photography so next week I'm off on a week's adventure, photographing and filming to stunningly beautiful Iceland! I'm also hopeful that I'll get to perform a song or two at an open mic or something like that while I'm there. That would be the icing on the proverbial cake!
Needless to say I'll be posting photos and videos while I'm there and upon my return I plan to make a documentary and a music video.
That'll be for my next blog!
So that's me for now, as usual I'm active most days on facebook so if you wish you can connect with me there.
Things are looking good for a live music filled Spring/Summer season so 2022 is shaping up nicely already!
I wish you all well for the year ahead and I'll be posting a new blog here in a month or so, after my adventure to Iceland!
Peace & Love,
Denis...
