Local maverick singer-songwriter Paddy McKeown is currently being featured on the UK homepage of the now EXTREMELY well known "friends" site, MySpace.com.

The Myspace UK and International homepages rotate artists they select to be featured on their site. There are currently two listed on uk.myspace.com. Here's what they've said about McKeown:

"Somehow still unsigned, but with a strong reputation on the live circuit, this folky singer/songwriter uses subtle, sophisticated rhythms and an array of instruments to back up his passionate, almost operatic vocals."

Apparently McKeown has received interest from festivals and record labels as a result of his appearance on the homepage from last night, "yeah, I'm a bit bemused and I've found so many old friends who've added me and messaged since yesterday evenin'.. it's great!"

You can see the listing at uk.myspace.com.
