AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, I am in an erotic bluegrass band called Courtney McClean and the Dirty Curls. I've been thinking for a little while about doing a little side-venture to this, a bawdy Irish band, and I thought it might be funny to call it The Peter O'Tooles, at least until the real Mr. O'Toole asks us to stop.
There are a lot of Irish bars around, and most of them offer music, so I expect that I can find some gigs, once I have some songs written and rehearsed. Furthermore, while the band can be of any size at all, it should also be able to compress down to two people -- myself and Coco, who will play bodran -- when circumstances demand it. Heck, it could even get down to just me if it ever comes up. I'll be playing a banjolele for the band, mostly because I already know how to play ukulele, but the banjo sound seems more appropriate to Irish music.
The Peter O'Tooles will be a bit like the Dirty Curls, in that the focus will be on improper and inappropriately adult songs, although my writing style tends to be a but heavier on puns and innuendo than Courtney McLean, the leader of the Dirty Curls, so I suspect my songs will superficially seem a bit tamer. They won't be, though. Oh no. They won't be at all.More Plastic Paddy
