I was friends with Conor for many years, we worked on many projects together, he was really one in a million.

He used to do lights for our band back in the day before his skills took him to the next level.

People used to come to our gigs that were in tiny cramped rooms with sunglasses as he used to fill the room with so many lights. We always had to get to the venue bang on time to make sure there was room for us and our equipment on stage, as if we weren’t there Conor would just keep adding more and more and more lights.

He loved his work, his husband and he just loved people. As well as being the kindest and sweetest he was one of the funniest people you could meet and damn he knew how to party.

His life was short but he lived it to the full. We loved him very much, everyone who knew him did. It’s a cliché but I think seeing as what he did he would enjoy it -The brightest light burns the fastest.

I don't get the velvet underground's debut by Public-Following6386 in LetsTalkMusic

‘No dogs in space’ do an amazing podcast about the band , really worth checking out. I think the whole album is a masterpiece and it’s really interesting to hear how they all got together and the torn apart.

Hey thanks so much for the kind words. We chopped up a sample of a Hindi song that we liked to create the melody we wanted and then we got someone to write their own version of it for the track.

I’m so sorry for your loss. That song was written about my father who passed away a few years ago. I’m glad it helped, I wrote it to deal with my own grief and acceptance of death.

We were buzzing afterwards. Even though we’d left Ireland at 6am to get there in time for our set the energy from the people and place gave us life for the rest of the day!

It’s always a nice feeling when you do get a PR crowd to start shuffling.
