In early 2007, songwriter Eddie Keenan, David Colohan (Agitated Radio Pilot, United Bible Studies) and fiddle player Neil Fitzgibbon began collaborating on songs that would eventually make up 'A Gathering', The Driftwood Manor's debut album. The newly-formed band experimented with different sounds and ideas, recording the results in two local studios and taking each track in a different direction as the song dictated. With the addition of Bean Dolan on double bass, Bryan Quinn on trumpet, Mike O'Dowd on drums (and desk duties) plus additional vocals from Anne Marie Hynes among others, The Driftwood Manor's sound on 'A Gathering' encompasses everything from psychedelic folk to Irish traditional music and alternative rock. The songs here generally deal with subjects such as death and the passing of time, with apocalyptic references interspersed throughout. Live, the band can be seen performing as a two-piece as easily as a six-piece, depending upon the individual show. www.myspace.com/thedriftwoodmanor Read more on Last.fm.
