Living legend, national treasure, the greatest irish accordion player to walk the earth.

John Kelly
Had John in the studio for the Nov/Dec JMI issue. He played harmonica with Van Morrison on stage before - an anecdote to be truly jealous of! We happened to have one lying around luckily.
If you get a chance have a look at John's JMI interview he has interesting views on Irish radio amongst other things.

Ensemble ICC
New studio's up and running wa-hey! Idea behind this shoot is a bunch of friends in a jumble sale trying out the merchandise. Wanted them to look like a gang rather than the standard ensemble press shots.

John McLachlan
It's been too long since the last addition but here it goes..John was telling me how he used to play on building sites when he was a kid because they were way more fun than where you were supposed to go i.e. the park or something. So we found a nice bit of rubble for him to feel right at home in. He's gonna be in the next issue of JMI which he writes for but this time he's the one being written about as a composer.

David McDermott & Kevin Volans
David & Kevin in Kieran Guinness's gardens. The gardens are scattered with old statues covered in vines, little overgrown paths and the like - total secret garden vibe

Lorcán MacMathúna & Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh
Lorcan's releasing his debut cd on the 19th of July so there's probably gonna be a big shindig in the Cobblestone with any luck. These portraits along with the Ringsend shots are a part of the photoshoot we did for the album.
Caoimhín plays fiddle, whistle & hardanger (think that's a scandanavian fiddle, not an adjective for his personality, he'd be more a softhappy fiddle if you ask me) on Lorcán's album.
