Art Cannot Be Taught

In Dublin until middle of April. Have to go play gig in England and Finland. Will return to Dublin at the start of May. I will be here until more gigs in Finland middle of June. For July, spiritual journey to lapland Finland and Norway. I will live there in the wild for one month. No people, no cars, no electricity. Just nature, space, silence, beauty. For august I will return and spend that whole month practising singing technique and guitar technique for one month at my parent’s house because I want to improve on everything. I feel like I am not yet at the peak of my powers and I could be. Songwriting is something that cannot be practised like this. I don’t believe in learning songwriting. You either can do it or you can’t. Simple. True art and creation cannot be taught. In September I will return to Dublin, get a flat here and stay here and continue busking, playing bars, coffeshops, etc. I am also thinking of starting my own label but not until I have made more money and built a bigger following. After living in Ireland for a year I want to live in Spain for a year, France for a year and Italy for a year because I want to learn how to speak their languages. By that time I will be almost 30 and I am sure lots of things will happen before then that I do not expect. Some probably good, some bad. I love the fact that I don’t know what’s going to happen. Didn’t drink last night but still hungover. Not as bad as yesterday. Ciaou.
