This is normally a paragraph where you find out about Vertigo Smyth. However, it has proven quite difficult to get any useful biographical data out of the man. We know for certain he is from Co. Clare and is an Aries. There is strong anecdotal evidence to suggest that he now resides in Limerick, or perhaps Clare, or even Galway. He has been sighted in thrift stores as far north as Belfast and as far south as Cork city. Not much is known about his musical background but it is understood that he came quite late to music and music making. In the past few years he has supported such acts as Mick Flannery, Cathy Davey, Gemma Hayes and Juana Molina. On his recorded material he is credited with guitar, banjo, ukulele and keys but has been keen to stress that; "There is a difference between owning a multitude of instruments and being a multi-instrumentalist". He writes all his own material but finds ironing his own shirts quite a struggle. If you see him, say; "Hello!".
