Who is mundy

Nov 6. It was such fun playing with the acoustics of the room. Been singing empirestateofmind all day, exchanging New York for Dundalk! Playing in an old Jail in Dundalk. Nov 5. Happy friday folks!

I used to walk to school with these two lads. Arrow of Gold captured by mackidave on his dog and bone! Doors at 8pm.

Link in Bio! This has helped enormously in assessing creative work. I have also learnt to keep my own personal taste and bias out of the equation.

Seeing first-hand how difficult it is to hear and receive creative feedback has meant that I take the time to think through what is lurking behind my initial impression. Thoughtful feedback is really important. I love creativity in all its guises, but my default position would be a more linear approach. Mundy has inspired me to delve deeper for the less direct, more magical, and crazy ideas.

He has a unique way of writing that simplifies the world we live in. Mundy was a round peg in a square hole, and it was inevitable that the hammer would eventually fall. Now, with freedom, comes a happier attitude to music, and a sense of personal satisfaction.

The new album went into the Irish Top 10, and has already sold 4, copies at home. If he'd gone in at number nine with big label backing, it would probably have felt like a failure. But doing it all yourself and going into the Top 10, says Mundy, is like winning a big race without a trainer.

With record companies running a more ruthless race, more Irish artists are having to go the independent route, buoyed up only by hard work, self-belief and a loyal home fan base. Mundy logs onto his own website daily and corresponds with his fans in the chatroom - a hands-on style which reaps dividends. When Mundy performed at the Heineken Green Energy Festival in Dublin last month, his faith in the power of independence was confirmed.

The grounds of Dublin Castle were packed with a new generation of Irish music fans, no longer impressed by bands with big record deals, and who fiercely support their own independent heroes. Mundy was sharing the bill with The Frames and Damien Rice, both of whom have also lost major record deals, only to return stronger and more popular with Irish fans. And I think people like the honesty, the less satanic buzz about it. Next week, Mundy will play his biggest headliner to date, at Vicar Street.

You can be certain that, no matter what the weather, there will definitely be a summer vibe in the house. Mundy's website, with fans' chatroom, is at www.
