Here’s two clips from a live set I did earlier this year for The Purple Sessions in Drogheda. The guys who organise the gig shoot videos of the performers, which is nice to see afterwards. Just this evening I got a DVD from them of the set I did, but they have these two videos up on Youtube already.

It’s two songs I’ve not even demo’d yet, but that I like playing live, but it’s good to actually hear what it sounds like from a listeners point of view, so I can think about whether I need to change the songs, or listen to how I’m playing them so I can make the performances better.
