Spaces In-between

Been playing a duo for over 15 years with this fella Mark Heazlett. About 12 of those years regularly visiting the weekly Coffs Harbourside markets. Little clip from organiser Kim last Sunday. I have been slow on blogs so promise to pick up my act!

Here is the song used as the market video

2018 ...bring it

[cheynnemurphy]

This Sunday playing The Rails, Byron Bay, borrowing the rhythm section from Walrus and the Carpenter featuring @vincentbashford and @jimmbobb (far right in pic). First gig. With Mark Heazlett on vocals and guitars. If you're in town come down for some loose shenanigans and a Chrissy bevvy. Been a big year. This pic sitting outside the Chinese torture chambers in Pingyao's Fortress city. You don't even want to know what was inside! #thislifeisradical

Through the Hills of Inis Mor

I am on the final stage of finishing a track call Through the Hills of Inis Mor. Last week at  SCU university where I work I met a fellow called Chris Sullivan who is doing a PHD on the Australian folk music tradition. Any way I asked him what he played and he said button concertina. When I left the conversation this song which I wrote about an island off Galway jumped into my head with the a concertina playing in it. I walked straight back got his number and we are doing it next week.! Here is a pic of the place.

Spinifex - dualing vocals....the 90's

Really enjoyed my creative journey in this old band Spinifex where I often share vocals with the drummer Carl and we used to write music as a band. You can tell because its not that commercial but I really like the feeling. Even the name of this track is weird: "Serengetti Feeling" because when I heard the music I had a vision of Africa and animals roaming the plans. The expansive feeling related to the music.
