Jim OKeeffe

I'm a native of Athy, a small rural town in the midlands of Ireland. I've been playing and writing music for longer than I care to remember. I don't take life too seriously, it's there to be enjoyedsometimes it's hard to enjoy it but I try my best.



Things in life which have held and continue to still hold my interest in no particular order: North American Indians, their culture, way of life and mysticism: Gazing up at a night sky on a starry night, realising how small and insignificent we are and then just getting lost in the beauty of the whole thing: A full moon - especially when it's low in the sky and it's that lovely golden orange colour: Quiet and lonely places - places that have been forgotten by the march of progress especially the wilderness of the riverbanks near my home: Gothic writings by authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and M.R. James: Christmas - especailly Eve and morning: My family - the glue that holds me together: Guitars - guitars and more guitars: Good music - there's always music playing in our house.



To date I have released eight albums the last five, Yeah - What the Hell (2005) Factory Town (2007), Devil in the grain (2008), Slow night on the river (2009) and Nights of sweet red wine (2010) are available for purchase on my CDBaby webpages.
