Beatles Binder, originally purchased in 1964. Rescued from house fire in 2004.

Not actually signed (in case you were wondering), my grandma says she just liked to write their names on everything. She used it to take notes in school, so there’s academia sprinkled throughout, but there also names and doodles and notes from friends and stuff like that.

‘Paul’ is written literally everywhere and my grandfather’s name even made one appearance (not nearly as much as Paul, though)

hello! i wanna make a tumblr blog about music and all the passion and connections i have for my favourite bands. possibly write some meaningful song reviews or analyses from my own perspective. lemme introduce myself first!

My name is Éirinn Ríona! I’m an art student heading into my second year of university. music and creativity have always been a passion of mine, i discovered my passion for listening to music when i was about 5 or 6 years old (after hearing the Beatles for the first time lmao). i am a musician myself but i can only play guitar, i own a beautiful black and silver Squire Fender stratocaster, which i have named Steven, that i got for my 12th birthday! at uni i also have a lovely Redwood but hopefully i can bring my original guitar with me this year. i’ve been playing guitar for 12 years now and i will hopefully be starting a band with some friends when i move back to uni!!

anyway! my current favourite band is The Small Faces - one of the most influential Mod groups of the 1960s. through them i have discovered a love for the sound of a Hammond Organ, taught myself how to sing with soul and just improve as a musician overall. i had been very fond of their organist Ian ‘Mac’ McLagan since hearing “Long Agos and Worlds Apart” - link for the song is attached to this post - for the first time, and after reading “All The Rage” (his autobiography) i found that my love for him could only grow.

i feel as though this is a sufficient introduction to my blog. hopefully i will actually use it because i do have a lot to say about music and how much is helps me get through life. i hope to meet others who share a love for the less appreciated bands of the 60s in a similar way to me because, growing up, i’ve always found that my brain works differently to my music loving peers.

i shall sign off with some images i adore of my beloved Small Faces (all taken from Pinterest). talk to you soon and stay cool !
