The Urban Druids new video “I Can’t Breath” feat John Burke is about World domination by the elite superpowers, a New World Order that has led to a dead democracy where it is impossible for people to express themselves and ‘Can’t Breath’ in this new globalized society. The video was directed and filmed by local Youghal man Tony Irwin from Stoneybucket media and produced by Warren Tivy from Claycastle Recording Studios.

This is the first successful venture by both media companies incorporating the audio, artistic, technical and video talents that are available here in East Cork. The film was recorded over several days and involved many hours of shooting to get the finished footage that the innovative band wanted. The Urban Druids are an Irish/American hip hop/rock band with a Celtic twist.

Indeed, such is quality of the musicians and artists that have emerged from there, at least three of the regular singer/songwriter/bands who use the  facilities there have been asked to perform at the forthcoming Electric Picnic in Laois, which is now the fourth biggest music festival in Europe!

YoughalOnline.com have also collaborated with the studio in innovative broadcasts from the studios in the recent past.

Speaking to Youghalonline.com, Course Administrator, Tony Irwin, said, “We had a real mix of students on this first course which was great, ranging from backgrounds in radio to performing artists”, “I decided to keep the syllabus broad at the start and then tailored it to the interests of the students involved”. It seemed to work quiet well because they will be running another Music Technology 101 in the coming months.

There are also other great courses available at the studio including Abelton Live and DJ skill and much more.

Established in 2007, Claycastle Recoding Studio is owned and run John Burke & Warren Tivy.

Who We Are

John Burke – Audio Engineer, Producer & Professional Musician.

“I have been engineering, producing, performing and promoting music in Ireland since 1989. At Claycastle Studio my main role has been working as an Engineer & Producer since the opening in 2007. Prior to that I produced music from my home studio and then went on to assist Warren at his studio for a few years before opening Claycastle Recording Studio together.

Live performance is where it all started for me and I still manage to have a life as a songwriter and to perform live regularly with my band deBurca. I also love to work with different genres of music including rock, R&B, dance music, traditional and so on. I believe that if you’re not open to all kinds of music you are missing out, greatly!”

Warren Tivy – Audio Engineer, Producer & Professional Musician.

“I have been in the game playing and writing music from the age of 14. I was fortunate to have worked side by side with a BBC engineer and a live audio engineer from the age of 17 on weekends and whenever I could I would get stuck in.

Having completed 4 years in pulse & poppy hill recording collage and various advancement courses I freelanced and set up a small production studio where I could hone my skills and record, play music and have loads of cool audio toys at my disposals.I was also very fortunate to work as a engineer and P.a rigger on my world travels to America,china and Austrilia. When the time came I joined forces with John and we set up a new state of the art studio from the ground. The aim for us is to deliver the best quality recording in a relaxed and creative environment that will make the artist feel satisfied and eager to continue with the professional recording process.”

Claycastle Recording Studio, a state of the art recording facility boasting an impressive 2300 sqft of Studio (largest in the south of Ireland), Large Live Room, Isolation Booths, a Vocal Booth and a spacious Control Room.
