When did you first start out per-forming music and writing your own material?

I started playing guitar and sing-ing when I was ten. There were a few guitars around the house and some guitar chord books because my dad plays a bit. He told me I marched into the living room and announced Im teaching myself guitar and just took it from there.

I started writing my own songs about a year or two after. They were bloody awful, but for me it just seemed like a natural transi-tion. I was always trying to decon-struct songs and trying to find out what made them work, what chords worked well together, what lyrics were trying to say

Who or what would have been your influences growing up and what would they be now?

Growing up there was a huge mix of music in my house. We were taught how to correctly put on and take off a record before anything else. Rockstars were household names and what they did and had to say were lessons to be learnt. People like Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen and Kate bush, bands like REM, Pink Floyd and The Ramones. They taught me how to question authority and form my own opinions and ultimately not be afraid to have something to say.

That music and that way of thinking stuck with me through life, I still listen to the same music I listened to as a child. There have been some great acts to come along which reinforced what I loved about the latter, such as Tool, Muse and Half Moon Run

You are heavily involved with The Nerve Centre, tell us a bit about the work you do there?

I am the course coordinator for the music course. I with my team build the music performance and music production courses, provid-ing courses that will arm people with the knowledge they need to be a professional performer or recording engineer.

I also work closely with our SYNC project which teaches young people about playing, writing and recording. Its one of the most re-warding jobs you could ever have, I get to help young people write their first song or record their first single and watch them develop into fully formed artists.

You were the frontman of two of the most loved local bands, - Karma 45 and Intermission but what has been the main advan-tage of going it alone in terms of the moniker Rosborough?

Kharma 45 taught me a lot about the industry, I was signed

to a major and got to tour all around the place for about 3 years. We played so many huge shows with great acts and I have some great memories from that time.

I dont think I really found my feet as a writer until I started Intermission. I was the main writer in that band so it was up to me to make sure the material was good enough.

I took all the lessons we learned from working with so many great producers and engineers while I was in Kharma, so I tried to apply some of those les-sons to what I was doing.

I locked myself in my studio for hours and just kept writing and record-ing. Writing music is a lot like playing a piano, you have to practice. I think all that time spent meant I had the

confidence to make material under my own name

What music are you currently listen-ing to on your iPod?

At the minute I have Puscifer, Nick Cave, Meshuggah, Sia and Florence and the Machines playing mostly. I have a huge passion for good songs rather than genres so I keep things quite eclectic

Your own music doesnt seem to lend itself to one particular type of genre and the range of your voice is incred-ible which means youre not limited in any way. When writing do you set out to be wide ranging or is this simply your influences coming through?

I dont know, I tend to just sing what makes me feel good in terms of melody

and range. I sang constantly as a child so Ive never really worked on or chosen a type of singing. There were a lot of female artists like Cyndi Lauper, Alanis Morissette etc while I was young and I would have sang along to those quite a lot so it may have come from there.

I think it all comes back to how you listen to music in the first place. Great songs is what its all about really, rather than ticking boxes. Ive tried writing to particular genres and feels before and its only ever resulted in terrible music I dont like. I like to keep myself as free and as open as possible when I write. Its more what the song dictates than what I think it should be like

Generally, which comes first, the music or the lyrics?

For me, I collect lyrical ideas, and I leave them floating around in there. When I write I usually write music first but with an overall idea of theme in mind. I then start to form lyrics around that musical theme.

When I write, I write with a movie scene in my head. I get the setting and place set first, then the characters, and then the dialogue. Thats what usually happens, other times you can strike lucky and everything comes at once, you are done in twenty minutes and then its on to the next one... I wish that happened more often!

You took some time away from the music scene but now youre back (yay!) what was the reason for the brief time away?

I was writing, and writing loads. I tend

to be quite strict with times, carving out hours through my week. Its my job, and although its creative, I try to be on it as much as possible.

I heard a great quote recently that describes how that work ethic applies to creative jobs by the painter Chuck Close, Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work.

I used to stress about not having ideas, but ideas come when you work hard in the creative environment. Over the past few months I think Ive finished about 30 songs.

All this tinkering away has put me in a great place when it comes to doing shows, Ive a whole new catalogue to choose from live, and I feel this new material is a great reflection of where I am now

What new releases can we look forward to hearing and what are your plans for the future?

Im currently shooting a video for a new song, Im hoping to have it up before December. There is going to be a lot of music which no one will have heard. Im also starting to gig now over in the mainland with my first London dates happening in mid-December.

Its going to get pretty busy, which Im most looking forward to.

Sometimes its hard as a musician to hold back what youve been working on, but now I feel Ive tested the water enough and Im ready to embark on the next phase, most of which will be gigging as much as possible. A part of music which I love almost as much as writing

Up Close and Personal with the UKs best

selling classical artist

he self styled Peoples Tenor will take to the stage this month at the

Millennium Forum. Russell Watson is officially the

UKs best selling classical artist ever and has won four Classi-cal BRITS with work spanning across classical and pop genres. The English tenor is regarded as one of the worlds most promi-nent tenors and has sold over seven million albums worldwide.

Since releasing his debut album The Voice in May 2001, which was a mixture of operatic arias and covers of pop songs, Watson has rose to become one of the most sought after and respected singers in the world. The Voice held the UK number one spot for a world record 52 weeks while at the same time holding the number one spot in America, making him the first British male to hold the accolade of a simultaneous transatlantic number one.

Each and every studio album

released since has gained critical acclaim. He has also performed for some of the worlds greatest figures including the late Pope John Paul II (who requested a private audience with Russell at the Vatican), The Queen, former US presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush, the Emperor of Japan, various European Prime Ministers, the King of Malaysia and Middle Eastern Sultans.

Watson has also collaborated with some of the biggest names in music including Pavarotti, Lionel Richie, Cliff Richard, Lulu, Sarah Brightman and Meatloaf to name a few.

Throughout his career, Watson has been a strong sup-porter of unsigned local artists and choirs, which is why he has requested to have a local choir accompany him on his Up Close & Personal tour of 53 UK dates. For his Derry date he will have the fantastic Londonderry Musi-cal Society supporting him on the night.

>> You can catch Russell Watson at the Millennium Forum on Wednesday 25th November at 8pm with tickets priced at 32.50.

Phil Coulter is back for a 50th Anniversary Tour

derry legend celebrates 50 years in the

ne of Derrys favourite sons will return to the Millennium Forum this

month to celebrate his 50th Anniversary in the music business.

Regarded as one of Irelands biggest selling recording artistes of all time, he has amassed a wealth of accolades including 23 platinum discs, 39 gold discs, 52 silver discs, two Grand Prix Eurovision awards; five Ivor Novello Awards, a Grammy Nomination; a Meteor Award, a National Entertain-ment Award and a Rose dor dAntibes.

The song in which he is most famous for The Town I Love So Well has become iconic with the city over the years, and it is a song in which he has previously said he is most proud of. It still gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.

When starting out in the mu-sic business, he probably had not expected that some day he would be commissioned to

write a national anthem, but in 1995 that occurred.

The Irish Rugby Football Union approached Coulter to write a politically neutral anthem for the Ireland na-tional rugby union team, which represented both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The result of which was Irelands Call.

It is undoubtedly the one song that he produced which is sung with most passion and by a greater audience. It was evi-dent at not only the Six Nations games, but also at this years World Cup in England just how much the song is embraced by supporters north and south.

Unsurprisingly, the song itself has since also been adopted by the Irelands national hockey, cricket and rugby league teams.

>> You can catch Phil Coulter at the Millennium Forum on Thursday 26th November at 8pm, with tickets from 15.

The Meilana Gillard Quintet ennigans Bar has been Jazz central for a long time now and the only bar in town to be champions of Jazz music.It helps that the main man has

music running through his veins. John Leighton, bar manager and lease-holder, is himself an accomplished jazz pianist and composer and in 2011 he released his debut album Dramatic Life with David Lyttles record label Lyte Records.

The Eglinton born pianist is pas-sionate about music and has made Bennigans Bar the place to be for live music of all genres in the city.

This month the Meilana Gillard Quintet will set up and play to this fantastic intimate venue.

Made up of some of the finest musicians in the city including John Leighton, 2015 MOBO award nominee David Lyttle, Rohan Armstrong and Michael Barkley there will be enough talent on show to blow your socks off and all for an incredible five quid!

Meilana Gillard, who is a jazz saxo-phonist based in Belfast, picked up the Tenor Saxophone at the tender age of eleven in her school band and became involved with Jazz at the age of thirteen.

Originally from London, Meilana was raised in the U.S. and studied for

two years at Ohio State University un-der Beatles saxophonist Gene Walker as well as studying at the New School University Jazz Programme which she graduated from in 2005.

Her composition A Spirit Remem-bered featured on iTunes Rising Stars of Jazz compilation and in 2012 she returned back to the UK and relocated to Northern Ireland where she quickly became immersed in the local Jazz scene.

Meilana will be joined by MOBO and Urban Music Awards nominee David Lyttle who is the first Irish musician to be nominated for a MOBO Award. His album Faces which was released ear-lier this year was described by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the best, robust listening experiences youre likely to have all year.

I often say this and you may argue that Im a little bit biased, but nowhere in the country on both sides of the boarder has what we have here in Derry. The amount of musical talent on our doorstep on a weekly basis is unbelievable. We often take it for granted, and thats only natural I think, you can become a bit complacent. But now and again its worth taking a step back and reassess just what we have and Bennigans Jazz Club is one of those times to do that.

>> Meilana Gillard Quintet at Bennigans Bar on Sunday 22nd November at 9pm where she will be joined by David Lyttle, Rohan Armstong, John Leighton and Michael Barkley. 5 entry.

music running through his veins. John Leighton, bar manager and lease-holder, is himself an accomplished jazz pianist and composer and in 2011 he released his debut album Dramatic Life with David Lyttles record label Lyte Records.

The Eglinton born pianist is pas-sionate about music and has made Bennigans Bar the place to be for live music of all genres in the city.

This month the Meilana Gillard Quintet will set up and play to this fantastic intimate venue.

Made up of some of the finest musicians in the city including John Leighton, 2015 MOBO award nominee David Lyttle, Rohan Armstrong and Michael Barkley there will be enough talent on show to blow your socks off and all for an incredible five quid!

Meilana Gillard, who is a jazz saxo-phonist based in Belfast, picked up the Tenor Saxophone at the tender age of eleven in her school band and became involved with Jazz at the age of thirteen.

Originally from London, Meilana was raised in the U.S. and studied for

two years at Ohio State University un-der Beatles saxophonist Gene Walker as well as studying at the New School University Jazz Programme which she graduated from in 2005.

Her composition A Spirit Remem-bered featured on iTunes Rising Stars of Jazz compilation and in 2012 she returned back to the UK and relocated to Northern Ireland where she quickly became immersed in the local Jazz scene.

Meilana will be joined by MOBO and Urban Music Awards nominee David Lyttle who is the first Irish musician to be nominated for a MOBO Award. His album Faces which was released ear-lier this year was described by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the best, robust listening experiences youre likely to have all year.

I often say this and you may argue that Im a little bit biased, but nowhere in the country on both sides of the boarder has what we have here in Derry. The amount of musical talent on our doorstep on a weekly basis is unbelievable. We often take it for granted, and thats only natural I think, you can become a bit complacent. But now and again its worth taking a step back and reassess just what we have and Bennigans Jazz Club is one of those times to do that.

>> Meilana Gillard Quintet at Bennigans Bar on Sunday 22nd November at 9pm where she will be joined by David Lyttle, Rohan Armstong, John Leighton and Michael Barkley. 5 entry.

>> You can catch Django Django at the Nerve Centre on Wednes-day 2nd November at 8pm with tickets priced at 16.50 plus booking fee.

Scottish foursome Django Django will bring their eclec-tic indie sound to the Nerve Centre after releasing their second album Born Under Saturn earlier this year.

The guys originally met at the Edinburgh College of Art but formed the band in 2009 while in London and spent the next three years working towards their first album which they released in 2012.

Released on the Because Music record label, The Mercury Prize-nominated self-titled studio album went down a storm from fans and critics alike and reached number 33 in the charts during the first week of its release.

Speaking about their individual sound, drummer and producer David Maclean told Late Night Tales: We wanted to produce a mix that represented the band. Its what were all into, so everyone put forward suggestions.

Its what we are as a band; and were kids that have grown up with an obsession about our

mum and dads record collec-tions, like 50s and 60s stuff and then got into hip hop and dance music as we grew up. At the heart of it all is our parents collections, with our tastes mixed in.

With a three year gestation period following a success-ful debut - which can often be a killer for a lot of bands the guys seem to have maintained the impetuous and pro-duced a second which stands up alongside the first.

Django Django followed their debut album with the re-lease of Born Under Saturn to critical acclaim and at the time of its release, The Guardian called it the only album you should hear this week.

The eclectic indie alt rock pop outfit cover more genres than you could shake a stick at and will take to the stage at the Nerve Centre next month with tickets available via the Box Office, Ticketmaster and WeGotTickets

he Bon Jovi Experience are seen as the ultimate Bon Jovi tribute band and the only one in the world to have performed

live with the legend himself.The band who mostly hail from in and around

Stoke are highly in demand throughout the UK and Ireland and are constantly on the road play-ing to large crowds.With over 20 years experience of touring the

UK and Europe with their act, they have been certified as the most authentic Bon Jovi Tribute act on earth, by Jon Bon Jovi himself. Tony Pearce takes up the role of the main

man Jon Bon Jovi and is unbelievably similar in appearance to the New Jersey legend. So much so that when Tony went along to see the original Bon Jovi play, he was mobbed by screaming fans who thought he was Jon Bon Jovi and started

taking pictures and asking for autographs.Chad Kroeger, frontman of Nikleback who

were Bon Jovis support act at the time, even picked him out from the crowd and said, Have you seen this guy? Hes that much like Jon bon Jovi its freaky man. The guys got to perform with Jon Bon Jovi

when in 2006 they were requested to play at the Hard Rock Cafe in London for Bon Jovis induction into the UK Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Jon Bon Jovi joined the band on the stage and performed the song Who says you cant go home. He later stated that they were the best tribute Ive ever seen.The much in demand tribute band will bring

The Bon Jovi Experience to Derry later this month with a performance at the Waterside Theatre and will surely go out in a Blaze of Glory.

companies from around the globe submitted which then needed top be whittle down to only eight. With submis-sions from as far away as Nigeria and Japan, Echo Echo Artistic Director Steve Batts and his team had some hard decisions to make but were thrilled at just how far-reaching the festival has become.

The evening of short works provides a fantastic opportunity to get a taster of local, regional and international perfor-mances, ranging in diciplines.

Another highlight of the festival is

Docnite (pictured inset) which is the first full length pogramme of choreog-rapher Oona Doherty, consisting of three episodes exploring metapysical states and is a hunt for truth and hope with the flesh of the body.

Based in Bangor Co.Down, Oona has been performing and cre-

ating internationally since 2010 with previous collabora-

tions including TRASH Dance (Netherlands), Abattoir Ferm (Belgium), and Emma Martin (Ireland).

For the kids the must see show is Spazio Semes CIMOSA which is a

small fragments of surreal stories, romantic

and ironic moods that transport you... a show without speech. Nois-es, sounds and music. Shadows and dancing bodies. Theatrical tricks and distorted perspective performed by the Italian dance company for this funny and touching show.

There will also be numerous chances to get involved with work-shops being available which offer a fantastic opportunity to learn first hand from the vast array of dance artists and companies taking part in this years festival.

The evening of short works provides a fantastic opportunity to get a taster of local, regional and international perfor-mances, ranging in diciplines.

Another highlight of the festival is

Docnite (pictured inset) which is the first full length pogramme of choreog-rapher Oona Doherty, consisting of three episodes exploring metapysical states and is a hunt for truth and hope with the flesh of the body.

Based in Bangor Co.Down, Oona has been performing and cre-

ating internationally since 2010 with previous collabora-

tions including TRASH Dance (Netherlands), Abattoir Ferm (Belgium), and Emma Martin (Ireland).

For the kids the must see show is Spazio Semes CIMOSA which is a

small fragments of surreal stories, romantic

and ironic moods that transport you... a show without speech. Nois-es, sounds and music. Shadows and dancing bodies. Theatrical tricks and distorted perspective performed by the Italian dance company for this funny and touching show.

There will also be numerous chances to get involved with work-shops being available which offer a fantastic opportunity to learn first hand from the vast array of dance artists and companies taking part in this years festival.

Tchaikovskys classic ballet

comes to Derryhe world renowned Moscow Ballet has brought the classics to our shores for

many years and are constantly in demand worldwide.Swan Lake is a classic in every

sense of the word. Perhaps the most loved of all ballets, I challenge you to find anyone who has not heard of it whether they be a ballet fan or not.The Moscow Ballet bring

world-renowned soloists Nadezda Ivanova, Andrey Shalin, Andrey Lyapin and Dmitry Smirno under the direction of Elik Melikov.Known by many as ballets great-

est love story, Swan Lake was com-posed by Tchaikovsky in 1875 and was initially considered a failure. Now over 140 years later Tchaiko-vskys masterpiece is performed by hundreds of ballet companies throughout the world each year and is one that all leading balleri-nas dream of performing in.Swan Lake is traditionally told in

two acts and tells the classic story

of how a princess called Odette is turned into a swan by an evil sor-cerers curse and she must remain a swan, except between midnight and dawn, unless she is saved by true love.The leading male is Prince

Siegfried who has no interest in his royal role, but due to the recent death of his father must now act as king and take a bride. He is determined however to choose a bride whom he loves and during a hunting expedition deep into the forest he sees Princess Odette, the Queen of the Swans. As he is about to shoot, she transforms into the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Overcome with love he profess-

es his love for Odette and promises to take her as his bride but the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart has other ideas.A story of hope, love, and loss is

the ultimate fairy tale ballet where the power of true love overcomes evil.

>> You can see the Moscow Ballets performace of Swan Lake at the Millennium Forum on Friday 6th November at 7.30pm with tickets starting at 12.50.

nection to Derry for it was with Phil Coulter that he received his big break in the music business when he appeared as a guest singer on his USA tour in 1993.

A>> Play On Words Theatre presents Tom Crean Antarctic Explorer Written and Performed by Aidan Dooley at The Playhouse on Sunday

8th November to Monday 9th November at 8pm, with tickets priced at 12.50.

idan Dooley tells the story of one of Irelands unsung heroes in this award winning

solo production.Reliving the riveting true story

of Creans Antarctic explorations as one of only a few men to have served with both Scott and Shack-leton and survive three famous ex-peditions, all told in this dramatic and humorous account.

Creans first experience of exploration was when he vol-unteered for Captain Scotts Discovery Expedition of 1901-01 which aimed to carry out scientific research and geographical explo-ration in what was then largely an untouched continent.

The Discovery Expedition launched the Antarctic careers of many who would become leading figures in what was later to be known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

Captain Scotts ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition of 191113 saw the race to reach the South Pole lost to Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and also ended in the deaths of Scott and his polar party.

Crean received the Albert Medal for Lifesaving due to the role he played in the expedition when he made a 35 mile solo walk across rough terrain on the Ross Ice Shelf to save the life of Edward Evans.

Creans final expedition was that of the Imperial Transantarctic Expedition of 1914 where he joined Ernest Shackleton, who was also Irish born, on what was known as the Endurance Expedition.

Yet another expedition fraught with danger and misfortune, the partys ship named Endurance became well and truly stuck in the ice and during the efforts to work the ship free, Crean nar-rowly avoided being crushed. For months the ship remained stuck until it eventually sank. The expedition party began a long and tireless journey to get help lasting more than two years.

Aidan Dooleys critically ac-claimed account of Tom Creans incredible expeditions has sold out performances throughout Ireland, USA, Australia and Europe while 2015 has seen the tour return to the UK by popular demand.

The Story of how Tom Crean beat the Antarctic

how hard COULD it be to

get a visa...

rish comedian and actress Sonya Kelly (from The Savage Eye) is back with another hit show. Following up from the success

of The Wheelchair on My Face, How to Keep an Alien is a real life tale written and performed by Sony Kelly and directed by Gina Moxley. The tender, funny, yet se-rious story charts the difficulties she met whist trying to secure an Irish Visa for her Australian girl-friend Kate, and the subsequent battles with bureaucracy that it entailed.The story follows her journey

from Offaly to Queensland, from mountains of paperwork to prov-ing to a government that their love is real. Initially, Kate came over on a

one-year work visa. But then she had to leave, because there was a prohibitive bar where, if you didnt earn 60,000 or more, you had to go home Sonya told the Irish Examiner. This then led the pair to apply

for a de facto relationship visa, however two years worth of dated documentary evidence

proving that the pair exist as a couple needed to be submitted.There are 27 rules and regula-

tions, and lets just say that they are the opposite of sexy. Youre at a point in your relationship where there should be a sense of spontaneity and freedom, but, actually, youre just collecting receipts and putting them into a dossier for some stranger to look at said Sonya.This critically acclaimed hit

show was winner of the Tiger Dublin Fringe Best Production Award and is presented by Rough Magic who produce a broad spectrum of work which includes over 50 Irish premieres and the professional debuts of many Irish theatre-makers.Tearfully funny yet tender, How

to Keep an Alien brings to the forefront the bureaucracy that exists and the difficulties that come with it, but promises to be a show that audiences will love.>> Rough Magic presents How to Keep an Alien with Sonya Kelly at the Playhouse on Saturday 21st November at 8pm with tickets priced at 8 & 11
