This is Gillicuddy

Hi there, my name is Gillicuddy.

I like to spend my time with guitars, drum sets, tape recorders, music software and lager beer. Sometimes it all adds up and I put out a little album – that's what you can find on this site.

The music I play is folky, sometimes lo-fi, sometimes vast, sometimes electro. I like to improvise and experiment.

Some editions of my albums can be downloaded at no charge. Feel free to do so and – if you have a moment – let me know how you liked what you heard.

Buying me a drink will also be highly appreciated.
