Ryan O'Shaughnessy

Just had to pop this in. Wow. Really love his voice, and I admire him for speaking so openly about the story behind his songs. Not the easiest thing to do at the best of times!

She Speaks: Sunsets and seaside!

Last month I met a lady named Mandi J Nelson, who was here on a family vacation all the way from Australia. During our conversation at till point (where I work), I discovered she worked for a production company. She explained that they do documentary type films, but also shoot music videos for up and coming bands. So I told her about She Speaks.

A few days later I found myself doing a photo shoot with the band, by the seaside in Portmarnick, Co. Dublin, where Mandi and her family were staying. We arrived fashionably late! But just caught the sunsetting and the light was perfect for the shoot. We had an amazing evening with the lovely Ozzy couple. Our first full band shoot, but not the last!

Inspired: Rita Ora and Beatrice Eli



You may have heard about singer Rita Ora. She has been compared to Beyonce and Rhianna, lets just say, she is 'Hot right now'..... She also auditioned to be a contestant for the Eurovision song contest in 2009. To be honest, I hadn't payed her much attention until this months release of her newest song RIP, featuring Tinie Tempah. The song was for me, a grower, and soon was imbedded in my brain 24/7. (Thanks IRadio!) Now slightly obsessed with how stunning she looks in the video, I feel I should share......





Next on the list of inspiration for this month is singer Beatrice Eli. Stumbled across her while flicking through Topshops blog, and soon found myself searching youtube for more wonderful music from this lady. To my great disappointment there were no more songs to be found, BUT there was an acoustic version of her song ' The Conqueror' on her channel and I just LOVE it! Have a listen;
