INTRODUCING THE LATEST UPDATES:

DEAR FRIENDS, HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY 2007. MORE THAN 1500 YEARS AGO OUTSTANDING SAINT
ACHIEVED OUTSTANDING GOAL AND BROUGHT CHRISTIAN FAITH TO OIRELAND. THIS DAY AIN'T 
JUST DAY OF WEARING GREEN, CHEERING OIRELAND BUT MUCH MORE - THE DAY OF SPIRITUAL RENEWAL 
AND APPRECIATION OF CORE LOIFE VALUES. ALTHOUGH NOT BORN IN OIRELAND ST. PATRICK IS TODAY
THE MOST CHEERED OIRISHMAN IN THE WORLD AND FOR A GOOD REASON AFTER 6 YEARS IN SLAVERY 
AND 30 YEARS OF STRUGGLE TO SHOW THE IRISH PEOPLE THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY. ST. PATRICK
SPEAKS FOR HEMSELF, HES LOIFE IS A TRUE STRUGGLE AND MANY TRIED TO STOP HES WAYS, PAGAN
KINGS, DRUIDS, SIMPLE PEOPLE THREW STONES AT HEM BUT HE HAD THE TRUTH, HE HAD THE FAITH,
CORE LOIFE VALUES IS WHAT HE STOOD FOR AND HE MADE IT BIG TOIME, TWAS FOR OIRELAND AND

HUMANITY. HERE ARE SOME WOISE QUOTATIONS OF ST. PATRICK THAT ARE VERY DEAR TO ME !

IN LAST FEW DAYS SEVERAL INVITATIONS CAME FOR ME TO PERFORM IN NEW YORK, UNITED STATES
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.

17th October 2006, Belgrade, Serbia      

SEARCH FOR NEW HONEST OIRISH CREW MEMBERS STARTS AGAIN: For the 2nd time, chance of starting a great Oirish band from within Serbia failed. Insulting the very idea of an Oirish band and what it takes, complete and now oi can say expected dissapointment, people who can't even nearly touch the Oirish essence, understand what it means, whats Paddy, whats Oirish music including its philosophy - not just the bloody tabs. Ya know tabs and playin' somewhat modest - theres lots of places and people to pick - play Serbian turbo folk - some if not all would do it and said so, BUT don't pick genuine Oirish band and Paddy to pass your toime, to earn money or whatever ya think this is. 2nd attempt of gathering the crew was really a disaster at the very beginning, months ago, but oi kept the story running and with wrong people, thinking things will get better or whatever, knowing that situation of creating and gathering people for Oirish band in Serbia is hard anyway. Playing relatively good or so, thats probably the least that foinally makes one Oirish band - besoides playing theres much much more to it - thats why there are outstanding bands loike Shane, Pogues, Popes etc. Reasons for having wrong crews are numerous, but simple and in general, for both times can be put as lack of honest respect, devotion, tolerance to real Oirish philosophy, Oirish punk rock and Paddy's feelings(directly or indirectly, from one or more ex crew members which lead to spreading of negative energy; although oi still have Serbian citizenship - "piece of paper for me" insulting my Oirish nationality, my Oirish fellow countrymen and everything oi stand for(or supporting insults of that koind and people who express it) is not acceptable from anyone - especially those who want to play in an Oirish band - those can never represent the story, work and lyrics oi am oriented to and dedicate my life to), lack of knowledge and of beein' enough insoide the story of Oirish punk rock, band never came as the No. 1 thing in life to any of ex crew members and creating a great band takes sacrifices(oi spent entire year, 100% dedicated and with all the other activities stopped, but it is not enough for only me to do something loike that). In those occasions there was never a real chance for mutual understanding, it was me on the one soide and ex crew members on the other. At beginning everyone who wants to join the crew goives promoises, everything best in speech of Oirish, Oireland, Oirish music, me oideas and style, following the given way etc. etc. But as the story goes on and on, the opposite stuff reveals... so oi've seen insults of Shane, insults of meself and me style in different ways, people playing in several bands with no results so looking for more money or better opportunities with lack of real dedication to this idea, people who would play anything for money and who see that not as a sellout but as a job, people seeing band as chance for money success only, people who never heard anything of Oirish music, waste majority of ex people heard about Shane etc. for the first time when they joined the story, people to whom everything comes before band or many other things do, people not willing to invest efforts or resources into band but think great band comes outta nothing, people cancelling gig or rehearsal without consulting, people playing Serbian folk or other music during rehearsals, people expecting me to speak Serbian language on stage and sing and act as they think appropriate - them with no devotion, no feeling no knowledge of what this idea is, PEOPLE THINKING THAT JUST PLAYING SOME INSTRUMENT MODERATELY GOOD IS ALL IT TAKES TO BE A MEMBER OF A REAL OIRISH BAND WITH EVERYTHING IT REPRESENTS, varvarian behaviour, in one word people with absoultely nothing of the Oirish spirit in them etc. etc. Oi did notice all this but it takes toime to notice it, ya learn about people and see yar choice is completely wrong but when ya foind out - its too late - they're on the opposite soide already. The most sad of it all, it seems outta this oidea of mine, from best intentions will or did come out several Serbian bands faking, posing, tossing and insulting the core idea of what honest real Irish band is... purest insult to everyone who respects any real Oirish band - Shane, Pogues, Popes, Dubliners or any other. Please never listen to those, don't share yar Oirish passion with fakers, money chasers, pretenders, ya'll recognize them easily, no emotions, no soul, stealing ideas and selling, artistic queers or worse.As oi move on and seek for descent crew, oi will never allow for this band to become what some people wanted it to be, average 3rd graded Serbian band faking Oirish music(not just in terms of playing but in terms of essence and attude as most important) and never knowing whats the essence of Oirish music, of beeing Paddy, of Shaneo's philosophies, of me own ways etc. really is. Attitude is everything, woise sentence indeed! Further on, oi seek to find real Oirish band in order to form IRISH ROVER AND THE CREW for the first real time. To continue the work, supporting band is required, with abilites to follow me work and lyrics, to express the reality of beeing Oirish. For the Oirish band it takes nothing else but Oirish band. Oi am always opened to cooperation, if there are people who would like to create serious story and follow the idea, feel free to contact me, oi am available at any time. If ya found yarself in any of given or similar examples, please don't contact me, oi have no toime to waste, oi seek only for Oirish spirited people! Twas enough compromoise with the essence, tis toime for the real stuff.

None of ex crew mebers has rights to present themselves as part of Irish Rover And The Crew, to use me written lyrics or music ideas(if theres any honour among them the same goes for me playlist selection of Shane's songs and music). Anything opposite will be against laws and human honour.
