IRISH ROVER AND SALT LAKE WHALEFISHERS NICK & CHANS, USA
GRAND COLLABORATION RESULTING IN HIGH QUALITY AUDIOS
&

With great pride & honour I present the news about collaboration with Salt Lake Whalefishers, USA, my friends Arsonic Nick & Chans.
Me and Arsonic Nick, banjo player of Salt Lake Whalefishers  started working together in October 2008, long distance, and recorded 
a great trad. Paddy song COME TO THE BOWER as arr. by Shane MacGowan. Grand result & essentoially the first real deal high quality 
recording made together with a truly likeminded rockin' musician. Playin' with good people showed and brought more results in days than 
in years that were taken from me in this 3rd world. Its brilliant experience to be able to work with essence punk rock people, thats the
 only way to bring good music to life and collaboration between meself and Arsonic Nick shows that clearly. Further more, we've invested 
huge efforts & energy and after some time finished recoding another song in November 2008. Yeah, check the STREAMS OF WHISKEY . 
Along with great banjo playing by Arsonic Nick, the song was also boosted by Chans, accordion player, so the final rockin' experience was
the best of all times. Hundred thousand thanks to Nick & Chans, very much looking forward to future collaboration and recordings to come.
Also looking forward to hear the reviews from worlwide friends, so keep em' coming. 
All mp3 downloads are to be found in Download Section, with Paddy's furious devotion for You !

PADDY PUNK ROCK ANNOUNCEMENT, GUITAR & VIDEO by IRISH ROVER

11th July 2008.

RIP RONNIE DREW

IRISH MUSIC SCENE DOES NOT EXIST IN 3RD WORLD SERBIA

Where genuine Paddy's spirit doesn't exist, pure imitation, reproduction, selling & acting out by worst of poseurs & scums comes as opportunity to crawl outta ground. Insult for genuine Irish music itself and all descent genuine Irish musicians worldwide and me here who am stuck in chains of Serbian system. Irish music scene in Serbia does not exist and there aren't Irish bands in Serbia as some journalistic whores try to present due to ignorance or whatever motives they might have, putting my story in some rotten fruit basket as well. While theres poseurs who sell theres always gonna be those fooled enough to buy the poseurs' crap cause they know not of any better. Cheap thrills, cheap entertainment, fake 'n' pose is not what Irish music and especially Irish punk rock in its true meaning represents. Fakers sell it in such manner. In a country where war criminals are considered heroes and their wifes are throned as no.1 artistic "singers" with national symbol & icon status, its pretty obvious what perception is given to "Irish music" and what is considered to be "Irish band". Not the essence, spirits, attitude, here it cunts the other stuff, poseurs chasing poseurs' goals. Media, ignorance, relatives connections, system desiribility, public appearance is used to fake, to put crap on throne, to present non-genuine & non-essential as the real, to show non-Irish as Irish. Fake is more than welcome where genuine stuff is beyond recognition, interest acception etc. Repetition makes the "poseurs' truth". Nazi principle "its easier to sell a bigger lie.." works out perfectly throughout. Lyrical trash and clothed performance by non-Paddies in such conditions is seen as the real deal, all a trick of outmost deception. Pricks with few beats and wires don't make Irish expression but sadly in the darkest forest one might look from a mouse to a bear. Irish music scene does not exist in Serbia. Where essence & attitude are on sale, quasi-music whores walk the "stage". Irish Rover And The Crew is not to be put in such poseurs' basket by the ignorant ones. My support band, the Crew, is opened to people from worldwide but this story is a Paddy one, genuine, furious expression of me own and hopefuly of all who tend to join me. In the meanwhile, for real journalists and interested parties, the truth should be told as it really is, trash is for the dump and real Irish music for the stage, not the opposite. Punk's not dead nor will be compromised by poseurs, ever.

14th December 2007.

SPECIAL THANKS FOR RECENT INVITATIONS:

In last few days several invitations came for me to perform in New York, USA and elsewhere. Unfortunately
due to current situation of having no Crew to work with, I had to refuse these invitations. I hope situation will
resolve in recent future, but due to very big problems with finding any suitable musicians within serbia, southeastern
Europe, I cannot give precise dates when live gigs will be available for You. I really hope to stay in touch with interested
people and that things will change.

SPECIAL THANKS TO SHANE MACGOWAN, DARRYL HUNT AND ME MATE NIGEL

The best gift arrived recently and all thanks to my great mate Nigel who took printed version of
this website and carried it all the way to the Pogues gig in Birmingham. With this, he did enormus
thing, presented it and me work to Darryl Hunt who signed, wished good luck, and then took it to
Shane MacGowan who signed and made it the very outstanding honour and gift for me. Having been
been signed by one of The Pogues and by the greatest Irish punk rocker on the Earth hemself is
really amazing and dearest situation, especially due to respect I have towards these rare outstanding people!

LAST GREETINGS FOR TOM MACMANAMON, POPES' BANJO PLAYER

15th december 2007. was the day when great man Tom The Beast MacManamon left 
this world, RIP Tom, ya left us a piece of heaven here on earth, amazing sounds of yar
playing. Whenever I think of Tom's playing and performance, oim sure there were and
there are perfect Oirish musicians. With such energy, attitude and greatness that 
everyone can just  woish to have oim sure it was an honour and pleasure to know and
play with Tom. Once more RIP Tom, God loves good people.
