Fresh, vibrant and with a youth­ful ener­gy, ‘Me & Vin­cent’ via AMS Records bursts onto the aur­al land­scape com­mand­ing to be heard. With a play­ful pos­i­tiv­i­ty, this new release is a ‘love let­ter to the urban and sub­ur­ban com­mu­ni­ties of Dublin’. 

Side 4 col­lec­tive is spear­head­ed by Irish drum­mer Dave Hinger­ty who has record­ed with renowned artists such as Kila, Paul Brady, Bron­agh Gal­lagher, The Frames, Eddie Ved­der, Josh Rit­ter, Jer­ry Fish and Mary Cough­lan. This project brings togeth­er an eclec­tic array of Irish and inter­na­tion­al artists, sculpt­ing songs using Hinger­ty’s pre-writ­ten melod­ic and pri­mal drum pat­terns. Me & Vin­cent fea­tures the addi­tion­al writ­ing, per­form­ing and pro­duc­tion tal­ents of Colm Quear­ney and Kei­th Margo. 

The video was edit­ed by Kevin Lynch and filmed in Dublin City Cen­tre and in Pop­pin­tree, Bal­ly­mun by Dave Hinger­ty and Niamh O Don­nell. It’s a enjoy­able cel­e­bra­tion of Dublin, its spir­it of music and youth.

Says Colm Quear­ney: Colm Quear­ney: “The inno­v­a­tive thing about the project is that it turns the song writ­ing process on its head. Dave invit­ed song­writ­ers to com­pose a song from an oppos­ing per­spec­tive. He start­ed out the project by shar­ing orig­i­nal drum parts with var­i­ous song­writ­ers and per­for­mance artists. Then, they got to enter the process of writ­ing from a rhyth­mic per­spec­tive. The results have yield­ed an incred­i­ble cor­nu­copia of songs, music and spo­ken word; with the com­mon thread being Dav­e’s gift for find­ing an infec­tious pulse”.
