A project formed by Felipe Schrieberg of The Blueswater, Poción De Fe is a ‘latin afrobeat’ band, with myself and Matt Hawke as a tenor/trombone horn section, Spanish lyrics, percussion and lots of groove. Pleased to be taking it out on tour over the next couple of months… Dates below!

Thunkfish going into hibernation for the winter, but here’s a little something we recorded over the summer…

Had the pleasure of putting together the horns and performing with the Edinburgh’s Got Soul choir a couple of weeks ago at the Queens Hall, Edinburgh, under Robert Harrison as MD, with several other of our Jazz Bar co-conspirators as rhythm section…

Here’s a video from the night, with horn arrangement & sax solo by me (with Charles Dearness on trumpet and Chris Grieve on trombone).

We’ll be back with the choir at the Queens Hall again in December.

Hitting the roads of England with Orkestra del Sol next week, with a few new towns going under the belt…

The Mike Kearney Ka-tet has rebranded as THE KATET. Simpler, isn’t it?

And what’s more, we’ve recorded 3 banging A-sides to go with 3 EPs for release over the next 9 months or so.

Here’s the first of them, complete with awesome video by Gavin Brown, and Mike:

I will endeavour to do something proper with this sometime. Meanwhile, links to my various projects can be found to the right, and do feel free to drop me a line.
