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!
