Hey everyone, Dale here. I am delighted to share my new music page with you all today. I am hoping to use this page to promote all my own music and solo endeavours 🎶 To launch the page today here is a drum cover of one of my favourite bands and songs Banquet by Bloc Party. I absolutely love the drums in this song and it was great fun learning this tune and setting up the kit for recording which is totally new for me. It took a few days but here we are. Loads learnt along the way and maybe a few extra grey hairs 🤣 So if you like what you hear stay tuned for more music to come 🙌 #drummer #drums #drummerireland #blocparty #banquet #drumcover #indierock

What an incredible couple of weeks of music from playing Whelans with @domhan_well , laying down 10 new tracks with @buioch.trad and getting to play the handpan again with @harpannomusic in a venue I just love @thesugarclub ❤️🙌🎶 This year musically is shaping up to be something unique and different. I can’t wait to share all the new music @buioch.trad has been cooking up. The band is stepping in a new direction I love while staying true to our sound but for now the hard work continues 🙏

Absolutely thrilled to announce my application to the Music Network Music Capital Scheme has been accepted for the purchase of a brand new handpan. This is an amazing opportunity and any other musician I know should keep your eyes peeled for this funding stream next year. A massive thank you to all involved at @musnetirl and its funders @artscouncilireland and Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media 🙏
