I'm in America now. Currently in southern Florida and will be working my way up to Buffalo in upstate New York over the next six weeks. I'm going to be putting some pics on here shortly from the trip and letting you know how it's all going along. I'll be back in Ireland August 2nd for a couple of weeks then off to Belgium for some gigs mid August, then back to Ireland for dates until the end of September. I'll put all the European stuff on here in lots of time. Had some great gigs in London and Staffs: before I left and look forward to looking like a lobster with the heat here in Florida topping 91f as I write. (Don't do Celsius) Writing lots at the moment and almost done with the umpteenth drafts of the first chapters of my novel. I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my writing but writing songs seems a cakewalk compared to all the prep work involved in the structure of a book. Still, we'll see how it goes. It's more a hobby than a mission. That's all for now on the gig and writing front. Been some more cover versions of my songs that came to light recently. Never heard of the artists a lot of the time but even if the man next door sings one of my verses in the shower, it's a great compliment. That's enough waffle for now. Oh, and keep in touch. I love hearing from you out there! Don't forget to buy some albums to listen to on your Ipod during your summer holiday!

 Why the new website? Hmm. The old site was in a dated software format that meant slower loading and using antique tecky stuff for building pages, etc. This new site makes things faster and of course (I think you'll agree) it just looks a lot better. Content wise it's got lots more, including sampler downloads of every track on every album that I have for sale in my online CD shop. I've also joined the blogging brigade which hopefully will generate some feedback from you. There are also lots more of my original lyrics on here compared to the old site. I'm also going to be allowing some FREE MP3 downloads of back catalogue tracks, which will be added over the next few weeks. I'm always pleased to hear from you so don't be shy, drop me a line sometime.2007 was a great year for me on radio spins. I was lucky enough to get several plays from my latest album. There were also a few airings for me on BBC regional stations of old tracks of mine from the 80's. I got news that my song about the Falklands War (The Battle of Goose Green) is being used in a forthcoming film on the conflict. 2008 kicked off well too, with the new compilation CD and video being released by Prism Leisure Ltd with a hit of mine from some time back entitled. 'You're never too old to love'. (See above for link) Hopefully we'll get more good news during the course of the year. Listen to and download FREE MP3 tracks from both of my 'MYSPACE' sites as follows: Sean Brady and Sean Patrick McCarthy. There are lots of my songs on other people's YOU TUBE sites including this one featuring my song about the REVEREND IAN PAISLEY which was a hit for me in the 1980's. Interestingly, a German Myspace member has written a song of his own based on my 'Drumshanbo Exile'. I'm chuffed to get someone covering anything of mine, no matter who, big or small, it's a great compliment. Years ago there was a bloke in London from who used to get up on stage and sing a couple of my songs in Irish. That tickled me pink too. Check out Mo from Wuppertal! Das ist gut!
