Several Facts About Me.

1) I'm a part-time musician (full-time bullshitter) from North County Dublin.

2) I've been playing gigs for yonks in different bands, the last and main one being Strangleberries that disbanded in 2004.

3) I used to think it was rather cool writing about myself in the 3rd person but nots no more.

4) I dispense folk influenced lo-fi indie pop using my trusty guitar and keyboard. I released an ep called "Perils of Internet Dating" in 2006 and am currently working on an album tentatively entitled "50 Irish Rebel Songs". I've also come up with a shedload of other album titles but not many songs alas.

5) I play gigs somewhat regularly. I've supported bands such as Fight Like Apes, Republic Of Loose, Apples In Stereo, So Cow and many others.

Below are some kind things people have said about me or my music.

Sandman Magazine (UK)

"These two named Georgie and Rebecca tell us to fear the Jabberwocky but we should embrace Big Monster Love as he quite simply fills ye heart with both sad lament and glee - the easing songs of the lost and not quite damned slip from his instruments. Whilst BML shines Dolcestilnovo try in vain to raise the stakes, yet are unfortunately prone to flatness."

Mick From Republic Of Loose in NME Magazine (UK)

"There are some great singer-songwriters in Dublin that are taking it to another level at the moment and Big Monster Love is one of them, really cool lyrics and beautiful melodies that sound gorgeous."

Clonan Attack (On Thumped.com messageboard)

"Damien Dempsey has nothing on Big Monster Love, the complete Dublin songsmith, lyrics with zero pretention and a lot of heart/sincerity."


Analogue Magazine (IRL)

"Big Monster Love is actually from Dublin, and whether by merit or by the nostalgia for our fair city that being away for half a day inspired, his straightforward lyrics about motorway traffic and the trials of love seemed to really speak. It’s difficult to get lo-er fi than a guitar or a Casio keyboard (not both), and singing that is so unpretentious it sometimes just sounds like speaking in a Dublin accent. Whether or not lo-fi has become a compliment, his jams have no frills and no unnecessary parts and they let him go about the business of being a very Dublin poet. The furthest into layering it gets is a backing track on the Casio on the set-closer, Modem Age Dreams. He seems like an honest guy, and his lyrics speak truth, so Big Monster Love gets a solid backing from this musical traveller."
