Ireland welcomes reggae artist Natty Wailer to its shores

Natty Wailer & The Reggae Vibes

Ireland over the years sure has produced some excellent talent in music, so much so that I would cheekily like to go as far as saying it’s on its way of becoming the real capital of music in the world. ;).. Musicians from all over the globe are drawn to our emerald isle in order to hone their craft and continue to play alongside real musicians who are in appreciation of what real music is. Raw, eccentric, eclectic, colourful & playful. With that in mind it is a credit to our musical island to welcome artists from all backgrounds who will undoubtedly be of great asset to the scene.
One of these musicians is non other than Natty Wailer. A singer, musician and song writer who rehearsed, recorded and toured with the legend that is Bob Marley and the Wailers for over nine years and is now a renowned reggae Artist in his own right, residing in Ireland. What an honour that sure is to our small country.

Natty Wailer – Could You Be Loved

[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/4Jx__5ZXPl4″]

Natty’s accompanied by his band ” The Reggae Vibes” who are all seasoned Jamaican reggae musicians.
Natty Wailer himself is from and inspired by the old school Reggae of the legendary Bob Marley and the Wailers and during his time spent with the star he lent his formidable keyboarding skills proudly to the music icon. As a result Natty has learnt the music trade to the extent of adapting the formula for making good music while spreading the importance of history and culture in his own beautiful and insightful way.
After leaving the Wailers in 2000, he found his own entourage “Natty Wailer and the Reggae Vibes” with the main purpose of continuing this tradition. Ireland sure is in for a treat !!!

New International Acts Touring in 2018

Hailing from Germany myself and having resided on this gorgeous Island for close to 17 years there have been a few surprises I have learned along the way. Yes, the Irish are full of “the craic” and the country is covered in greenery and sheep, surrounded by oceans but one admittedly known fact that struck me the most is how much the Irish love their music, GOOD music.
Not everyone will make the cut and whatever venue you visit for a gig you will be assured talent rather than just some band hoping to “strut their stuff”.
The Irish folk are all about “raw talent” – a band or musician that doesn’t just stand in front of a mic to mime to a backing track but knows how to work multiple instruments and harbour a clever grasp of lyrical genius. The music fan I have always been appreciated the realness this country celebrates and I cannot but *bow* to the appreciation that the Irish hold in high regard for the acts they celebrate. So much so that I would like to call myself an Irish when it comes to the music I listen to and enjoy watching live.

Luck has it I got myself a job in one of Ireland’s most credible music agencies and therefore have been enjoying the pleasure of being introduced to the BEST in Irish music such as the legendary Aslan, as well as The 4 Of Us and gorgeous musical story tellers like Declan O’Rouke, Paddy Casey and Brian Kennedy – not to forget the electrifying Ryan Sheridan, thought-provoking Rubberbandits, Indie rockstars The Coronas & Keywest, but also the international artists that hone their craft and take music seriously instead of just “performing to become famous”.

To make it in Ireland you won’t get far with simply a good voice but you need to breathe and feel the beauty that is a song – one that will travel afar and will inspire the listener’s mind.
I am pleased to be able to introduce to you on behalf of AMA Music Agency Ltd. the incredibly eclectic, international acts that are capable of touching your heart, spirit, mind and being accompanied by skill on the instruments and voices that will penetrate your ears like melted chocolate.

Dearly Beloved’s Rob Higgins’ Mini Documentary: Phoebe Street

10/04/2015

Rob Higgins’ Brain Child: ‘Phoebe St.’ (‘Make Love’ mini-doc)

Rob Higgins could be described as a bit of a musically creative whirlwind, lending his talent as a skilled bassist to numerous bands, touring with Juliette Lewis and My Chemical Romance (to name a few) and then he went about to “accidentally” form his very own Alternative/Rock project, the effervescent Dearly Beloved.

Touring extensively with various bands, producing records, recording in the desert, regenerating a bit of himself by himself and letting his mind wander towards new musical outlets and creations, all has guided him towards his own studio in Toronto’s Phoebe Street and a lovely, introspective documentary: ‘Phoebe Street’ (‘Make Love’ Mini Doc) -which focuses on local independent artists “who make a living doing what they love.”

Sarah Murphy wrote up this great article explaining all – do take a look:
