Band's I've been involved with
The Peculiar
"The Peculiar" are a 4 piece experimental rock, blues and psychedelic band from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Consisting of Declan Corr (Vocals), Michael Conroy (Guitar), Robin Spencer (Bass) and Kayla Hanna (Drums).
I was the drummer during the start-up of the band in early 2018 but unfortunately had to leave in August 2018 due to moving to England to study at ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music) Guildford.
During my time with The Peculiar, we played many gigs across Northern Ireland and played at an indie festival called "Hobbity Festival" in July 2018.
I played my final gig with The Peculiar at The Pavilion Bar Belfast, when I visited in December that year on the 29/12/2018. Video on the right is a performance of "Poison Chicken" from that gig.
The Peculiar was the first band I joined independently, helped develop and played gigs with after finishing college. The band is made up of incredible musicians and I look forward to seeing what they do in the future!
