It’s about €1 more expensive than it is to buy it direct from Bandcamp, but iPhone users can download it direct to their phones through the iTunes store, if that’s something that you wanna do, whereas with Bandcamp, you do really need [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/today-my-album-went-live-on-itunes/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/post-jazz-festival-review/ http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/post-jazz-festival-review/#comments Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:57:34 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=1451 I had an absolute blast of a time at the Cork Jazz Festival. Definitely a weekend to spend in Cork – there was so much music everywhere. From buskers on the street, to free gigs in venues around town, to the ticketed gigs each day too. I spent the day times wandering the streets enjoying [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/post-jazz-festival-review/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2011/09/jazz-festival-more-mixing-and-a-swede/ http://www.misterebby.com/2011/09/jazz-festival-more-mixing-and-a-swede/#comments Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:50:57 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=1394 I’ll be playing a set in the Festival Club at the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival this October 30th. The time isn’t confirmed as yet, but I’ll update some more about that when I know later on. I don’t believe I’ve ever actually played a gig in Cork before, now that I think about it.

I wanted to do some kind of little “seasons greetings” message of sorts, and the best way I know how is through music. This song [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/12/nollaig-shona-daoibh/feed/ 1 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/10/scala-kolacny-brothers/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/10/scala-kolacny-brothers/#comments Thu, 14 Oct 2010 22:17:11 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=768 I’ve sung this song countless times in choirs. I kinda grew to hate the song because it was such a standard part of choral repertoire when I was a teen. But we never made it as beautifully melancholic and full of yearning as this fantastic choir have, and they’ve completely reinvigorated the song in choral [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/10/scala-kolacny-brothers/feed/ 2 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/05/free-download-donut-song/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/05/free-download-donut-song/#comments Mon, 31 May 2010 19:35:15 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=625 I remember the first time I listened to a Tori Amos album – it changed my idea of what a piano could do. It was Under The Pink, which I listened to all the way through a few times alone in my room. Before listening to Tori, my notions of piano music were limited to [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/05/free-download-donut-song/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/03/cover-under-the-ivy-kate-bush/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/03/cover-under-the-ivy-kate-bush/#comments Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:45:54 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=516 On a whim while practising piano yesterday, I decided to record a few cover versions as it had been a while since I’d tried using my little home studio setup.
