I won't be posting here for the forseeable future, not until things change.

You'll find me on Instagram, Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky

I really loved chatting with people here but things have changed and not for the better.
Hoping that can be reversed someday.

@Quinnfreelance @AbbeyTheatre @obrienmark @businessposthq That's the lie, isn't it? That art is for the elite.
Art is for everybody and brilliant people like Mark totally get it.
I grew up in what would be classed as a working class area and have been blessed to have been involved in the arts from a young age. I want that for all.

[Ken Whelan @kenwhelan]

So much great music coming up.
Our @TheTolkaHotClub gig on 17th is an AFTERNOON gig so all ages welcome.

[Ken Whelan @kenwhelan]

Lots going on at the moment.
Radio show today, accordion and saxophone rehearsals over the weekend have kept me busy but in a good way.

I'm playing in @dublinbluesjazz next Friday 8th with Mary Stokes Band @GuidanceStokes and then again on Sunday 17th with @TheTolkaHotClub 🎶

@irishpianoman @cassiopeiawinds I'll be featuring this on my next show too!

[Ken Whelan @kenwhelan]

@irishpianoman @cassiopeiawinds @DublinSouthFM No opposition, it's all great music!

[Ken Whelan @kenwhelan]

@cassiopeiawinds @DublinSouthFM I think I may have murdered the pronunciation!
(I'm blaming a cold)

[Mary Stokes @GuidanceStokes]

Thank you @kenwhelan - looking forward to performing in Dublin’s dedicated #BluesJazz pub, Arthur’s Blues & Jazz Club - we’ll have the fabulous harmony vocals of the #QueenBees along with @kenwhelan & #Aondotrio Horn Section, gonna be something!! Tix @eventbrite

[Ken Whelan @kenwhelan]

The Mary Stokes Band absolutely kicking it on @RTElyricfm 📻🎶

Happy 5th Birthday to the amplify podcast! 
I'd like to share an episode that really resonated with me during that strange time we all lived through. Listening to the podcast kept me in touch with people in music!

@lyricmoviemusic Cello and accordion? I’m all in.
Sounds great, will be checking out more of their music.

We had a jam packed visit to #CUH childrens inpatient and outpatient units today with some 👻 music ahead Halloween. #live #artsandhealth #patientexperience Thanks to the @NCH_Music for supporting this project in 2024.

@LASTEXITshirts I think it indicates the heart that was completely missing from the Snyder movies.
I don’t want grim and gritty Superman, I’m all in on it being a lot lighter.

Greetings from Schönberg in Austria. Lovely impromptu session here last night before we head to Vienna for the big gig today.

[Ken Whelan @kenwhelan]

@AnnODeaSR They look even worse in real life. Complete fingerprint magnet.

@pamelaaobrien @CoderDojo I think it's a really bad move to be honest and feels disrespectful to all who gave their time freely over the years.

[Ken Whelan @kenwhelan]

@pvespertine Such great music on the wireless tonight 📻🎶

Thank you!
