Hey shoes fans.
Wanna big up all the Midsummer Moonwalkers in aid of the Hospice movement last Friday on Custom House Quay in Dublin. Size2shoes entertained the masses and loved the gig. Word to all involved. Size2shoes next Dublin appearance will be at the Kings Of Concrete event on Sunday 4th July. That will be an afternoon affair most likely but keep an eye on our facebook and this blog for more info closer to the date. Check out the Kings of Concrete website too!
We are also doing a charity gig in NewCastle West in Co. Limerick on the 30th of June (this month!) More details to follow re venue etc. Dont even know the charity that we are raising for! ha. We have a new motto here at Size2shoe, it “If your not payin, then we are playin!”. God it feels good to be a gangsta:)
Be cool Ireland, and the world.

Hello Ireland, and the world.
Spring greetings from dynamic sibling powerhouse Size2shoes. It has been so long since an apostolic letter was sent out among the Size2shoes faithful so its good to be back!
So much has gone on and here is some of it!… we appeared on Imeall Geal (an Irish language pop music show on BBC NI!) and we will hopefully have the clip so you can check out our stunted Irish speaking! Word to all who helped us out that day. We are just heading to a gig in Waterford now to rock out in support of David Geraghty at Phil Grimes bar! Go on de Deise!
We have been in contact with the guy who is gonna produce our 2nd album too, a wacky dude called Alan Doyle from the Canadian band ‘Great Big Sea’. Great things are affoot.
Eoin’s beautiful girlfriend arrives from New York shortly and she stays in Limerick for the summer! So expect a series of soppy love songs and romantic hooks coming from Eoin this summer! Moley is giving a couple of rap workshops in secondary schools these days, bringing the message of hip hop and teaching beatbox techniques to the kids of the world! Go Mole. Size2shoes also just finished a tour of 16 secondary schools in 6 days! We perform for an hour with trad vibes as we were joined by the wonderful international trad superstar Ciara O’Sullivan on Harp and Flute! Much fun was had. Word to the traddies.
Oh yah, and Eoin was 30 years old a few days ago! Momentous times as Eoin heads into his fourth decade!
How are you?
Well we hope!

s2s blog: hilarious consequences.

It's a Turkish Saz man! 
So, what exactly have Size2shoes been up doing with themselves these days?
Well, we’ve been doing a lot of workshops in schools around the country. This has proven to have hilarious consequences. From small halls packed with screaming convent girls, to cups of milky tea in staff rooms – rock and roll!
Currnetly writing to you from this cool little gaf in Belgium (http://www.rosario.be/rosario.html) where we’re doing an interesting little gig with our mom. We just saw an Orthodox Russian Choir here who blew our faces off! There called “Sveltillen”. Nice.
Me and Moley spent last week woodshedding in our cousins holiday home in Lehinch on the storm tossed West Coast of Ireland – word up to Connor and hie Crew! Writing some sweet new tunes and experimenting with all kinds of new recording techniques.
Speaking of which I was in Turkey last week and bought a Saz man! Here’s me doing a little expo of exactly what the Saz can do!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt3K0baKWAg) Watch out for this in future Size2 gigs Big love out to all the Giresun posse that I met and looked after me over there. Turkey for the EU – Let’s Roll!!!!!
Keep on rocking in the free world peeps.

Good tidings from the land of Size2shoes. We have suceeded in keeping ourseles rather busy thankfully what with demoing tunes for our second album and a sneaky trip to san Francisco last week! Big love to Tom Bachelder and his family for making our San Francisco experience such a rapid experience A momentous occasion indeed as this was s2s U.S west coast debut!
We are demoing tunes for our second album everybody! We are very happy with the tunes that are emerging, we hope to sneak peak a few just for you in the coming months Moley has several rap verses on some of the tunes and Eoin has written some seriously epic tunes that rock out deep, and hard Arrangements for the second album are being made as we speak, and things look rather promising you will be glad to hear.
Gigs coming up include recording two tracks for BBC Northern Ireland TV, so we hopefully will be posting that link of our lovely faces soon after, our BBC debut! I suppose it will be no time till it is summer time again as the Daffodil’s are fit to burst forth and all the wonders of nature will open for business, we will be ready…will you?! We played at the UCD Valentines ball a while back too, which was simply wonderful to see the best and brightest of the Ents krew in action. Word up!

The Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay-ay
…to all the Size2 fans who came to see us open up for The Coronas (www.thecoronas.net) at the UCD Valentine’s Ball last night. We were delighted to be asked back by Ents Officer Mike Pat and all the trendy Ents Crew after doing the Freshers’ Ball last year. Believe it or not, these are the only student gigs we’ve ever done, and we loved them!!! Singing the Teddy Bears Picnic to a hall packed with dancing students is quite an experience
The Coronas were excellent too. Tight band, strong melodies, great vocals.
Now we’re packing our bags for our world tour of San Francisco. We’ll be keeping you updated with all the juicy Size2 gossip State-side, for here at S2S we believe that what goes on tour, goes on the blog!!!
Lots of community action these times too. Last week we were the proud ‘celebrity judges’ for The N-Factor: Has Newport Got Talent? And we can say with a resounding Yea! that it most certainly has. Keep an eye out for hard-house dancing diva Tamara McNamara this Saturday, or the host of excellent Irish Trad bands, or Newport’s best kept secret, the Slam-Poet Seanachaí (that’s Irish for story teller) and loads more acts. Unfortunately we’ll be doing our gig in San Fran that night 
And tomorrow we’re doing back to back workshops for the kids at the Murroe4U Community Expo 2010. It’s just non-stop! How are we going to find time to finish off these demos?!?!?
Oh, we premiered a new song last night at the Ball. It’s call ‘Woke Up From A Deep Sleep’ which feature a five minute ‘rock-out’ with the whole crowd singing along… this is a good sign.
Rock On!
