Simon Jewell

SisterMidnight · 10-21-2006, 06:27 PM

i can't believe there isn't a thread about him yet and i think it's high time, so if he's too modest to brag about himself i'll just have to do it

simon is currently in the studio recording his debut EP! one of the tracks is fallen curtain, which i think is absolutely brilliant, both musically and lyrically (it's become my favorite song) you can listen to an unmastered demo of this track on his myspace page here:

http://www.myspace.com/simonjewell

he also recently made an appearance on balconytv.com, which is this very cool site that broadcasts unsigned irish artists as they perform live on a balcony overlooking dublin city! i love this whole concept.. check out simon's fantastic performance of reflections here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_aPr2kKd4

and on top of all that mr. jewell is about to embark on his first irish tour supporting travega! here are the tour dates and venues he'll be performing at:

Nov 4 2006 8:00P The Music Factory Carlow
Nov 5 2006 8:00P The Stables Mullingar
Nov 7 2006 8:00P Smyths Limerick
Nov 9 2006 8:00P Richardsons Galway
Nov 11 2006 8:00P Casbah Letterkenny

i would highly recommend checking out his music and catching him on tour, because i reckon someday we'll all be saying "ah he's a legend! and i knew him way back when.."

Timeé · 10-21-2006, 06:32 PM

the casbah?!!!! IM SOOOOO THERE !!!!!!! WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(if i get in)

ohhhh maybe i can get in through simon.

"i.d. please?"
"oh well.. *whisper* im an eskimo"
"*undertone* go on ahead"

SisterMidnight · 10-21-2006, 06:53 PM

erm.. i wouldn't really recommend eskimo name dropping tim.. (he's gonna kill me now

)

but if you can get in you should and go see him ROCK the casbah

(sorry had to say it)

Vienna · 10-21-2006, 07:07 PM

i loved that balconytv performance, though my computer is **** so it was a bit jumpy....

oh and simon is cute too

i think we should hereby bestow Melissa with the title of *Simon Jewell's Biggest Fan*.....who's up for making a nice certificate?!?!?

DO IT!!

Miss Pink · 10-21-2006, 07:57 PM

VIENNA YO SO KNOW WHAT IM THINKING.

yay simon...we all love you

Beevers_uk · 10-21-2006, 08:14 PM

I love this guy!! He Rocks!!

Hopefully he will have some gigs down in cork, oh i dont know... around the 28th november?

Wheels · 10-21-2006, 09:04 PM

Jeweller? I never knew... fair play boy!

carvinC980t_kid · 10-21-2006, 09:32 PM

thanks for sharing that youtube thing... i really enjoyed it!! mad props simon!

SisterMidnight · 10-22-2006, 12:03 AM

^ it was a great performance and reflections is such a good song! i think simon sounded amazing (tho he says he had a cold, poor guy) and it was funny when the presenter got tangled up in the mic at the end

yes, it's already been established that i'm president of the fan club.. i'll try to have badges and t-shirts available in the near future..

knock 'em dead on the tour simon

Yetzirah · 10-22-2006, 02:15 AM

you forgot that he's not only a bloody good musician, but an incredible actor as well! i haven't seen him personally, but i couldn't imagine anything different! and yes, i'm one of the people who desperately hopes to see him in cork better sooner than later!

Gatsby · 10-22-2006, 02:19 AM

Erm cheers mel for the thread. Im not mad about self promotion but i guess it has to be done

all this is happening so quick, studio, rehearsing, tour.
so yeah, the tour is a warm up to releasing the EP which im recording at the moment in Dublin. Hoping to do a bit of distribution, not sure if ill be able to do it all on my own but i have a few people who can help out with regards record labels etc

all im really hoping for is a platform to stand on once this is all done. Ive been screwed over already in a similar situation but a different industry and i was young and naive and ended up getting badly hurt by the business, so i guess im hoping this can take off and go places.

Anyways there are more dates to be added. perhaps cork, dingle, belfast, ennis. so hopefully they get added and the EP is recorded soon!
im co-producing the EP so its quite time consuming, hopefully in the end it will be worth it!

Cheers for taking an interest and ill try keep you all updated with how it goes!

Simon

SisterMidnight · 10-22-2006, 02:59 AM

you're welcome (yeah somebody has to do it

)

it's all very exciting.. i think it's definitely going to take off and go places because.. well, your music is brilliant. do keep us posted and best of luck with everything!

and you're right johanna, he's an incredible actor too, but i think music is his true calling.. i'm looking forward to a u.s. tour at some point

SisterMidnight · 11-02-2006, 12:12 PM

the travega/simon jewell tour kicks off tonight!! be sure to get out there and support the lads

Beevers_uk · 11-02-2006, 10:41 PM

Gatsby · 11-10-2006, 06:50 PM

Cheers Dara, long time no hear!

So yeah the cork gig has been cancelled until further notice. Letterkenny is the last gig on the tour confirmed. Ennis, Dingle & Belfast are maybe's and are still being sorted out

Yetzirah · 11-10-2006, 09:16 PM

i can't believe cork has been cancelled

Rovena · 11-12-2006, 09:05 PM

I love the song... the more I listen the more I like it!

So, will I be hearing you in the States anytime soon?

erm the first one i read went well but was more acrobatic than acting. that one was going on in the everyman in cork i think. strange strange play. sounds interesting, and i havent heard back

2nd one i was suprised not to get a recall, i thought i nailed it, director spent about 30 mins with me. but nothing so far

****e business to be in really
