...and so, Oblivious to the World, we crack on! News of tour dates! An altogether too brief Tour of Ireland in the pipes...You can read the dates above. They will be mostly acoustic shows in nice quiet venues, a real chance to hear the songs in their simplest form. Joining Maskedman on all nights in Ireland is the great and highly acclaimed norwegian singer/songwriter/musician Sergeant Petter. You can read about him and listen to some music at www.sgtpetter.com . We are very excited about this...it promises to be a hell of a lot fun..... We hope to organise some dates for October in Norway.....we'll keep you posted!

July already! There was a review in the Irish Times over the weekend, you can read it here-http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/theticket/2011/0701/1224299816824.html
There has been a bit of noise about it! It's been fun! But a review in the 'Times' is a review in the 'Times', whether you agree or not!

So, everything has been a little chaotic. A few weeks back i had a semi-major spill off my bicycle, which saw me slam my head and face(and knees and hands and hips) onto the road. Roads are hard! I had a helmet on, which saved what little wits i have, if not my life!
So, any schedule i had hoped to keep suffered a minor set back. Everything is delayed slightly, a little out of phase, but rumbling along. You can read more on this in the Masked blog.
Much love to you,
Dermot

Hi there,
So, i have started to build the website, as you can see, glad that you could come along. Not that much to see here yet, but i'm working on it. It's all very simple, as you can, also, see.
I feel that there is no point in me lying to you and saying that there is a team of web designers working around the clock to cater for my every changing whim,..But, i have team of web designers working around the clock to cater for my every whim!
I've started into a whole lot of things, really. Let's see if i can finish them!
The Cd's are back from the printers. The downloads should go live soon. Click on the Bandcamp logo above for a Free Download of "Stupid Earth Boy" before they run out!!
"Why thank you!", i hear you cry. My Pleasure, Your welcome,
Peace and love to you,
Dermot
