Dear Contributer.
Welcome to my pre-order STUDIO ALBUM Project Page.
I have been working on this song cycle for the past 6 Years in various cities, small towns and mountain tops. Dublin, Dingle, Cavan, Cill Rialaig, Cape Cod, San Francisco, Galway, Paris, Yorkshire and other welcoming destinations of muse and necessity. I really believe in the essence and message of these songs and I take the valuable advice from more seasoned music makers to seek help, raise funds and record a worthy studio album with the spirit of wisdom and your support. I have dedicated my life to the purpose of songwriting and performing, and with the help of an incredible troupe of Irish and International musicians I believe we can create a powerful resonating album of lyrical lived-in songs with symphonic musical arrangement. With this community of support, through pre-pay, we can cover the cost of 3 weeks studio time-€2,200, engineer and musician fees-€2,900, mastering-€950 and cd/vinyl production-€1,450.
Choose from a selection of rewards that allows you to pay in advance for the forthcoming album on Limited Edition Vinyl, CD or Digital Download, all posted to your doorstep. You can also purchase in advance Album Launch Show Tickets, the Mystery Music Box or my busking MARTIN Travel Guitar. There is also the option to pay in advance for a Private House Concert, Songwriting/Singing Workshop or a personalized Cyber Serenade for your special occasion. I can write a song for you. From your favourite tale or story I could compose a mini Folk Opera, especially for you. By purchasing these rewards now, you are enabling the production and release of this new album in early Spring with travelling Stage-Shows to follow throughout the country.
Thank you for reading and taking an interest in this album project. I understand and appreciate greatly the value and importance of your support and generosity. I look forward to seeing this project through to completion and delivering to you in Spring 2019, all of your pledged rewards.
I am lucky enough to have found a voice, purpose and pathway in this life as a Troubadour- to compose, to sing, and to perform, for you and I. At this point I know no other way, as what we dream of and live amongst, we become. Long may this musical journey continue.
Your Troubadour,
Larry

Dear Patrons.
I have sent our song- Give Alms out into the hearts of the people this week. It will be a taster for the album to come. The album is mastered and waiting patiently for the next phase of it's life, which will happen soon, despite our current scenario. I will be in touch with you all over the next few weeks regarding your rewards. Give Alms had already been toplisted on the recommended playlist for RTE Radio 1, and DJ's Cathal Murray(Late Date), Shay Byrne(Rising Time), have played it on their shows. This is an encouraging beginning. If there is a show on RTE Radio 1 that you enjoy, request your DJ to play Give Alms. This will help pave the way for the album to be received with more anticipation and it also recognises the support that Radio 1 has given so far. I will send out the song to regional radio next week and it should be live on Spotify by Wednesday 29th. You can prefollow the release from the link attached(hopefully) The track sounds great and that is thanks to the people involved, especially your good selves. You are all bearers of the message it is bringing. Hope you and all your loved ones are healthy, safe and holding onto sanity. This glorious sunshine is a great elixir of hope.
Your Troubadour

Hello everyone.
The album , that you have all so generously supported, is almost there. We hope to Master it in Abbey Road Studios in January and celebrate with its release in spring. It has taken a while to find its own unique sonic atmosphere, but time has helped to season each song and nurture their own way through the labyrinth of amps, reverbs,cables, my own doubts, willful and mindless distractions and a summer job. I will be in touch with you all in February to begin facilitating all of your rewards. Thank you for waiting, and thank you all again for believing in this project. We will make the most of its journey out into the world.
With warm wishes and gratitude,
Larry
