CORTEZ  PROFILE

KIERAN Mc CARTHY    Drums

FISHY by name but not by nature. This outstanding drummer is steeped in a musical background. He began with Out of the Blue before joining the legendary Drums N Wires later to be called The Grip with brother Paul - (Third member of PULSE). In the dark days of the mid `90`s Fishy drummed with the famous DIXIES (CORTEZ members willing to pay a high fee for poster of the DIXIES with our kid posing behind his kit in a tuxedo - at the side of the road no less???!!!)

This is a drummer whose understated style breathes life into the band. he has a cleaner ear for dynamics and space than a NASA astronaut. Kieran has more strings to his bow than Robin Hood e.g. he is responsible for this web page as well as many others, not to mention a unique ability in music today - a drummer who can tune his kit. His sweatometer t - shirts are a testament to the pleasure he gets from playing.

BEST MOMENT: A tribally percussive rollercoaster ride behind the RIVERBOAT SONG that dips and swells and anchors in the back of the brain hook, line and sinker.
