And.... relax!

To all of you who came down and danced, sang along, cheered - thank you! That was a week that won't be forgotten in a hurry!

Muddy's had it's best ever night (on 17th itself), and as for the band? Well, we were simultaneously pumped up and yet humbled by your enthusiasm and support. A couple of technical hiccups aside, we loved every second, and the reaction we got on Saturday in particular was simply amazing!

To the many friends of the band who were there, it was great to see you... to the many, many more strangers that were there, consider yourselves friends* now! And to those who didn't make it......? Well, there will always be another year...

And lastly, let us not forget a mention for the tireless staff at Muddy's, without whom the week would not have been so well lubricated!!!!!

Happy St. Pat's!

Wherever you are in the world, we hope you are raising your glass with us as we say....

Sláinte!

It's 3.15am and we are all heading home for some shut-eye... before making our way back to Muddy Murphy's again in the afternoon for the full-on St. Pat's celebrations!

See you there.....!

Two down, five to go!

Last weekend we had a great time - thanks to all of you who came down and danced, drank, shucked, etc., etc..... let's hope the hangovers have cleared by now!

After two evenings relaxing (or more likely pampering the WAGS as an advance apology for upcoming absenteeism!) the band are raring to go - so if you haven't managed to catch Gan Ainm at Muddy Murphy's for St. Patrick's Week yet you have 5 days left!!

See you soon....

We're ready - are you?!

Well, the band are just about to hit the rehearsal studio for the last time before the craziness that is going to be St. Patrick's week....

We have one final pre-Paddy's gig tomorrow night at The Prince of Wales in Little India, where you'll get to hear some new material for the first time, and then it's off to Muddy Murphy's for twenty-one sets at seven gigs over a nine day period... plenty of opportunity to come down and rock out with Singapore's biggest craic dealers!!!

Check out all the times on our gig list -  Sláinte!

Gan Ainm at the Grammy's...?

L: Greta playing with Gan Ainm, circa 2005
R: Singing with Picture Book (Patrick Clarke Photography 2011)
Well, no - not quite... but it was a pleasant surprise to hear that the bands former fiddler, Greta Svabo Bech, was at last months awards. Now singing with hotly tipped Liverpool act Picture Book, she was also the featured vocalist on "Raise Your Weapon", a track by Canadian artist Deadmau5 that was nominated this year for Best Dance Recording.

All in Gan Ainm wish her well - she's come a long way from the shy teen that had to share a stage with three loud blokes six years ago! And why not check out her website, gretasvabobech.com, and see what she has been up to....
