Bio So what is there to be said? Words are so flippant, so useless, ultimately so incredibly powerful. Within The Loaded Whispers there is no false artistry, merely vessels through which sound and ideas travel freely. The creative outpourings of The Loaded Whispers will communicate perhaps without ever being fully understood. There are no divisive strands contained within The Loaded Whispers. Respect will not be given freely - it must be earned. Sounds will caress and nurture. Words will seek and strive to be heard. There will be no easy listening. Each creation will demand full attention from the participant.

There will be no confusion. There will be no fear. Unconditional love is the only reward.

Thank you for joining in. Stay tuned.

BIO
Marie Keane began gigging with a blues rock cover band at the age of 17. Having performed in nearly every reputable venue around Dublin for the last 7 years inlcuding The Sugar Club, The Gaiety, The Village, The RDS, The Bleu Note and Temple Bar Music Centre with various original and soul/funk cover bands - no one can doubt the experience and ability this vocalist has achieved in performance. During early 2006, Marie for the first time began vocal coaching, where her voice really began to fully blossom, under the tutelage of Honor Heffernan, Irelands leading Jazz vocalist. Marie formed a trio inlcuding Eoin Grace (trumpet) and Donal Sweeney (bass) during the summer of 2006. Eoin and Marie have worked together for the past two years in covers bands and decided in the early months of the summer of 2006 to launch this original project - something Marie has wanted for many years! She then contacted Donal when he was highly recommended to her and when all three met up for the first rehearsal, no one could over look the obvious fact that something really brilliant was waiting to unfold. The first step was taken when four original tracks written by Marie were recorded in her basement over September and October 2006 with Eoin (a qualified sound engineer) producing and mixing the EP. The trio worked closely together to arrange the tracks to their full potential and rehearsed a 45 minute set of Maries original songs during that time while putting together a full visual show set to perform. This is the initial stage of a well planned musical project. It is worth waiting for its development into a mutli-functional art. Music is an extension of life, allow it unfold in its natural way.

Bio One cold, bright winters eve, Sybill downed a little too much cooking sherry and decided, despite her better judgement, that it was time she extend the proverbial olive branch to her four-legged collegue. Firenze, of course, excepted graciously, despite HIS own better (sober) judgement, but knowing Sybill and her.. tendencies, he didn't want to get on her bad side whilst drunk. She gets nasty. And so a terrible beauty was BORN! Sybill and her pony now teach classes together and make beautiful music. Folk music. And how!

Bio

Following a two-year period of playing venues around Belfast, local singer/songwriter Laura Stevenson is finally receiving recognition in NI's music scene. Fans include Radio Ulster's Gerry Anderson, who has recently been giving 'Just Beyond My Reach' (from the 2004 EP 'Down') frequent airplay.

At the centre of the music is her voice - fragile, ethereal, haunting - providing an apt vehicle for songs which betray a rare kind of honesty. Stevenson doesn't shy away from wearing her heart on her sleeve in her songwriting, something fans tell her they appreciate. The songs are carefully framed with her trademark cascading piano lines.

Influences include Sarah McLachlan, Juliet Turner, Patty Griffin and Sheryl Crow, but comparisons reveal little about Stevenson's unique direction. Live sets include interpretations of songs by artists she admires: Radiohead, Iain Archer, Chris Isaak and Bill Mallonee, amongst others.

Currently sought after as a vocalist and songwriter, Laura Stevenson is continuing to play local venues to an ever-widening fan base. A five-track EP is due for release this summer.

Inhabiting the space where catharsis meets redemption, this is music to break your heart.... or maybe to heal it.

Bio

Her earliest musical influences were sounds of Makem and Clancy, Planxty or Bob Dylan being played by her parents as they drove around the Caribbean island of Trinidad where she lived as a child. She moved to the Middle East with her parents and this is where she took up the guitar, singing and writing songs. After completing her secondary education Irish went on to the Ballyfermot “rock School? for 2 years where she studied musical performance as well as the practical side of the music industry. The school had its own small record label and star students were awarded a release on the label. 1996 saw her based in Sweden to start what would be a 4 year tour of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and the U.K. She also started work on her debut album “Republic of One? which she recorded in Bohus Studios just outside Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2000 she moved on to Australia where she quickly established a large and loyal following. Again festivals and some large support slots would follow. 2003 saw the release of “Appreciate? on Myth Records. It was recorded at Planet Studios in Subiaco Perth Western Australia. Irish was in the studio again June 2006 to finish recording her new album “Fallen me? with Paul Mills at the Millstream Studio in Toronto, Canada. She has played all over the world sharing stages with such artists as Tom Paxton, Paul Brady, The Dubliners, and this summer saw her sharing the stage with some of the top Canadian acts. Christy Moore once told her to “….keep the head down because you’re going to sore?

The band called Sirocco has now moved to New York and have changed their name to Defy.

 Here is their message:

Hi all!
Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and a Happy 2007!!!
As we have told you previously, Sirocco have been in transition the past year, working on a new direction here in New York City. We have put together a little video of our progression as we become DEFY*. We are very sorry if the Sirocco fans will be disappointed, as we haven't put a video together yet of us performing our Irish songs. But we will work on it this year to be able to put it up on this site. We thought you may be interested to see our progress and transition thus far.....so have a look and tell us what you think!

Hope we all have a great 2007!!!!

Love and best wishes
Fiona, Nayome and Evangeline xxx
