It's been WAY too long!

Yes...its me...im stil alive!lol haha

Wow, its been way too long since ive last written on here...well, thats all gonna change now -promise! Im gonna use the excuse that ive been locked away recording and getting this EP ready...and now its finally finished...im free to fill you in with all my adventures again =)

So before i go any further...please let me introduce to you...the offical Jill Deering debut EP!





So....click on the 'IndieStore'...have a listen, and if you're diggin the sound - they're there for the taking! =)

Well...what has Jill been doing these past few months!?? Well, there was honesty in that previous statement - as i was busy finishing off the EP...getting the art work done for the cd and now im in the middle of getting my show ready. Which by the way is on the 26TH NOV. IN WHELANS!!! so put that in your diaries and come along, as its gonna be a wicked show! full band and a great support act (Stacey Gill). Its only 5Euro at the door! what a steal, great price for a whole night of entertainment...plus, ill be selling a hard copies of my EP...and if you're lucky, i just might 'high-five' you! haha =)

Over the past few months ive been doing the odd gig, like the Ruby Sessions (which was awesome, so much fun!) but now the EP is ready and in full swing, we're gonna be out there doing a lot more - so im very excited!

I was also in New York again during the month of September - a little break away to see my friends and the city that im in love with! =) Got to see some fantastic gigs when i was over there - Damien Rice...amazing! and my all time idol...Patty Griffin, live in Central Park on a warm September evening...magical! was the best night ever.
Aw seeing these artist play, just made me want this even more and dream bigger (I so wanna play over in the states..its just a must have on the wish list!)

So thats pretty much all that ive been doing really...but next week is gonna be busy busy with getting the final things sorted for the 26th...but there'll be plenty of posts leading up to it...and of course detailed account of the night too =)

Hope to see you all there! =p

Take care,
J.D

Tim Easton support gig (13th May)

Aw what a gig! soooo much fun! great crowd and was in flyinig form myself...so all in all...it was a very positive night! To be honest, it was weird at first being up there on my own...havent played a gig where its just me, for 3 years! so it was all very interesting...but by the time the first song was over, i was home again and it felt good.
A huge thanks to those who came and cheered me on! It was so wonderful to have your support that night!

These are a few pictures that photographer susie Keane took (thanks dips!)

Last thursday night...i went to an amazing gig in the Tripod (never been there before - GREAT venue!) to see Duke Special and man they blew me away...what entertainers!! the music was so intense at times in some songs and then in others...it was just fun! was a real honor to be in that room...
You HAVE TO go see these guys play if you missed out on that show!
Thought id share some videos i took from my camera - they're just short clips.


VIDEO1: 'Wake Up Scarlett'


VIDEO2:'Maps' (now couldnt believe he did this song - its a cover - by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, one of my fav songs!! and it was great!! though excuse the 'nice' bar staff at the beginning,that was walking behind us with a grate of bottles! wasnt impressed!)


VIDEO3: cant remember what this song was...but it was great! and i was VERY impressed by the guitarist in the backround..using a bow! genius!)


Laters!
