jinx I Jinx Lennon was born in Dundalk in 1964. The first song I can remember that completed a fully fledged electrical circuit in my head was "There goes my first love" by the drifters. It left an indelible footprint in my mind at the very edge of pre-pubescent misery / euphoria. After years of home taping experiments and listening to dodgy rock bands I finally felt sherbet fizz kinetic energy when I witnessed local Dundalk band Meta 4 play the Imperial Hotel in early 86. Their ramshackle majesty and couple of well chosen guitar cords, jet propelled me along the conveyor belt to form a slew of local underground bands that included Sneaky Pete and the Ostrich, Silver Seeds and finally the Novena Babes. All outfits contained super decent people but we mostly played it safe to the musical templates of the time.

paula Paula is currently part of all the Jinx Lennon shows. This fantastic folk influenced singer who originates from Forkhill, Co. Armagh adds another dimension to established jinx songs such as "Escape From The Planet Of the Apes" and "Lookout Posts at Forkhill". She is part of the Fresh Blood For The Empty Heads collective and has just recorded a new track called "The lights of Mullabawn" which will hopefully surface soon on Septic Tiger Records.

pete Pete Johnson's solo career began as a bad joke that couldn't last but has ended up being the latest Truth-Teller that will not be silenced. Pete was once described as being, big, bald and bat eared and tuneless!! Far from it!Pete Johnson is a musical genius who has an ability to get musicians to bring sounds out of their instruments they normally do not produce. In his latest album "None O' Yur Jip' the essential Pete spirit is perhaps laid out most plainly in the puerile, yet also deep and genuine "Get a Life'. The song has a powerful theme expressed in the opening lines "Stop Fighting, Stop Fighting". In "The Government Lie" pete urges us to 'Look at the state of the state were living in'. He sums up all our infuriation with the modern day administration and the 'Pot-Hole' road they are bringing us down. Listen to pete and train to be spontaneous! What the critics say... .Unique...Fresh new talent...Modern day voice of the people...Is he for real...Brilliant...Big Bald and Bat eared
