About Us

Kevin Murray – Radio, Press and Online Plugger

Kevin Murray has been involved in events, the arts and the music industry for over 20 years. He began when he was 16, organising local concerts for his and his friends bands.  With a blossoming love of music and the arts he went on to study music in Derry and then followed that with 2 more years in Glasgow gaining a HND in Audio Production.  The years following he was consistently involved in small-scale events. Working with venues and artists to host a variety of single or album launches or charity events.

After gaining an abundance of experience in small-scale events, in 2011 Ryan Sheridan asked him to join his team. Over 4 years he worked with Ryan touring Europe several times, supporting Rea Garvey and with Ryan’s own headline tour. On these tours he gained invaluable experience working with managers, artists and agents.

In 2014 he decided to return to college and enrolled in BIMM Dublin. Basing himself in Dublin allowed him to start his own musical project and he formed Pine the Pilcrow. Since forming in 2015 he has put his industry knowledge to work and Pine the Pilcrow have toured Ireland extensively at a variety of arts festivals, support shows and headline shows, playing 4 stages at Electric Picnic in 2016. Through networking and producing high quality work they have been covered in many of Irelands leading publications such as The Irish Times and Hotpress, while also been covered regularly by Irelands leading blogs Nialler9 and The Last Mixed Tape as well as working with radio stations such as BBC NI, RTE Radio, Dublin City FM, Near FM, 8 Radio, KLCR to name a few.

Working on his own project on top of event management and tour management has given Kevin a full scope of what’s needed to organise and promote events and releases from the bottom up. Like Linda, Kevin’s background in music and being in a band lends an inside understanding to the client.

Hobbies:  All things music! writing, listening, watching, judging! I like to cook too and chill out with a good book or a Netflix series.

If Kevin was stuck on a desert Island his must have items would be…If i was stuck on a desert island my must have item would be a grand piano but only if the transport was being paid for by whoever is dropping me off! If I’m paying the transport costs id bring a harmonica! 🙂

Danny Wilson is a journalist, copywriter and social media manager born and reared in Dublin. His obsession with music became apparent at an early age as he religiously tuned into pirate radio stations on his daily commute into primary school and voraciously consumed any and all music, skateboarding and arts journalism he could get his hands on. Following an adolescence soundtracked by a C.D case stuffed with The Smith’s catalogue, Danny enrolled in and completed an honours degree in Philosophy and Classical Civilisation in University College Dublin.

Towards the end of his university career Danny began writing more seriously. Regularly reviewing records, interviewing artists and dissecting pop culture minutiae for various local publications. Over the years Danny has penned a number of pieces for the like of Hot Press, This Greedy Pig and, most regularly, Totally Dublin where he still serves as music editor.

Of late, Danny has been engaging with the world of Social Media and Marketing representation for some of the country’s most venerated arts institutions including Body&Soul Event Creations Ltd, The Irish Museum of Modern Art and Gate Theatre Dublin. Danny works on developing upcoming Talent fresh on the scene in Ireland.

Hobbies: My music consumption has failed to slow. I still wile away the hours discovering and immersing myself in genres and artists I’d previously been unaware of – the the thrill of the new has yet to dissipate. From post-punk to krautrock to the forgotten psychedelic and experimental acts of 1970s Venezuela – I’m more than happy to wax lyrical (likely to a wholly uninterested audience) on the merits of acts from widely disparate realms of the music world. I’m also a film nerd of some repute. Most evening’s you’ll find me settling in and watching a flick of one sort or the other. Paranoid thriller, Giallo Horror or meditative drama – They all get their fair shake.

If Danny was stuck on a desert Island his must have items would be… Is it a cop out just to say my Laptop? Even if the Desert Island’s wifi leaves a little something to be desired, I’ve still got a slew of established cinematic greats catalogued and waiting to go on my hard drive. Sometimes after a day’s work it can be hard to muster up the emotional energy to dive into a black and white classic of mid-century European art cinema. A Desert Island might just afford me the free time to finally get to those Bergman flicks I’m forever putting on the long finger. So, let’s say my laptop and maybe the entire Can back catalogue to keep me occupied on the music front. By the time the rescue boat finally arrives, I’ll have stroked my chin down to a nub!
