And now for something completely different...

We all love playing music together, but there is more to us than simply being Singapore's #1 Celtic band! There is even more to us than drinking copious amounts of alcohol!

Next week The Stage Club of Singapore presents Bram Stoker's Dracula at the DBS Arts Centre. What has that got to do with Gan Ainm, I hear you ask? Well, the incidental music has been written and recorded by our guitarist, Miles McLean, and Dracula is being played by none other than Alexander Gow, our fiddle and mandola player! That's him as you have never seen him before in the picture to the right...

Some of you may know that Alex's background is in theatre, but this will be his first time acting on stage in over 10 years! He has now mastered speaking with his fangs, and alongside the rest of the talented cast he is raring to go...

The show is on from 23rd-26th May and tickets are available at SISTIC (click here to go direct to event).

We hope a few of you can make it down to see another side of our band members... we are not just one-trick ponies, we do have some bite! (Groan!)

We wish some weekends would never end...

What a great weekend that was... thanks to all of you who came down, drank like fish, danced like maniacs and generally had a grand old time!

If anyone has any photos or videos of either gig, we would love you to share them with us. You can email them to ganainm.sg@gmail.com or post them on our Facebook page.

We'll be taking a break for a few weeks, but watch out for us back in July... see you then!

The Boys Are Back In Town!

Have you missed us? We've missed you! Hard to believe it hasn't even been a full two months since St. Patrick's, yet so much has been going on since then. We may have seen a few of you at gigs by other bands we are variously part of... or maybe at the theatre production Paul recently directed... or maybe just down the pub for a pint! But this will be the first time you will have seen the seven of us back together again, and we are looking forward to having a right old knees up with you all!

This weekend we have two opportunities to folk you up! The first (Saturday 12th, 10pm) is at the Prince of Wales in Little India and is somewhat dangerously sponsored by Jagermusic, so be prepared for many, many Jagerbombs. The second (Sunday 13th, 6pm) is back down at the scene of our big week two months back, Muddy Murphy's. Two fantastic venues, so it should be one hell of a weekend!

We must thank those kind fellas at Jagermeister and PacBev for their support - so please "like" their Facebook page at  http://www.facebook.com/Jagermeister.SG !!!

Cheers all, and see you over the weekend!
