Doing it For M.E?

Image
Hey, seeing as it's been awhile and I promised not to write unless I had some positive  news to share with you....            Ta da!  🤪   As some of you will know it's been a pretty awful time as far as trying to get a track recorded  🤣 And In the run up to Mays M.E awareness month, I've been trying to get it done to release as a free download before International M.E day on 12th May. While i'm starting to produce my own Music I'm still at the early stages and certainly not the skillz to mix and master,... and then my good ol mum just happened to say "Why don't you contact Shane?" Those who've followed from the off will know the Uber talented Shane Shanahan as the producer of my album "Nobody wants to know ya when ya nobody", EP "Runnin On Empty" and subsequent singles in-between. As it's been a decade (How the hell has it been that long? 😲 ) I wasn't sure he'd even remember me let alone be able to come to the ...

On the Comeback Snail trail ?

I normally do my best to avoid this because,  for those that don't know, it's been well documented over the years that this low calorie sweetener can cause a heap of problems, although low calorie...

Music Distribution...It's a Steal.

I thought I would write a little  update as to what's been happening and to also give warning to anyone who uses an online music  distributor  to get their music on platforms such as Spotify, Apple etc. I'd been with Tunecore for 15yrs, they were great in the beginning, the founders, two of them, bent over backwards to personally  help artists/bands get there music out there but then they eventually sold the company and....well, as with alot of these situations the rot set in and the more the company expands the deeper and wider the rot spreads.  Those who've followed me over the years will know that after losing my brother and sister in 2015, music and life came to a standstill, I've been struggling to get my arse in gear but recently signed back into my Tunecore account only to see that I'd been blocked from withdrawing money from streams, sales etc.This is the only message shown:     " Withdrawals on this account are temporarily being held, Thi...
