At Crouch End, another cracker...
Oh Ruin
Oh Ruin at myspace
Oh Ruin's story begins in Dublin, where Eoin played guitar for a string of bands, supported Morrissey and set his sights on London.
With a taste for the great and the good of old Irish poetry, Eoin's crooning tales of childhood mischief and the first sweet stings of love combine stomping blues with campfire quiet troubadour tunes. A little loose, a little rough around the edges, his melodies borrow from old traditional Irish folk songs set to intricate, finger picked paeans.

Some real honest to goodness straight up storytelling. Charming and self deprecating yet not quite hiding a keen ability of songwriter and guitarist. A list fans the world over. Let's hope it doesn't go to his head!
"kept me listening, and listening and listening....a beautifully rendered cycle of songs of complexity and depth that will take your breath away.....Some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, performed with jaw-dropping skill......World Class songs. ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE." - Rebel Riffs Blogspot
"laid-back but infectious songcraft..." - Time Out
