TooSkin BlooSkin was a collective formed in 2002 by , Eamon O’Malley and Alan Shanahan. The group would be comprised of musicians who were all doing separate projects with other bands and the purpose of the collective was to record and perform original material written by Neil McGrath and Eamon O’Malley. This began with the recording of Mo Chairde Go Leir in August of that year and continued with live performances until early 2003. At this point the collective parted ways with their original bass player and returned to their individual solo projects. In 2004 TooSkin BlooSkin re-gathered, this time with Jim O’Brien and John Clancy sharing bass duties. 2004 saw more performances and recordings such as “Pull Me Up”, “Charles” and “Vision Inc.” which were well received and given regular airplay on Beat 102. Other notable items from 2004 include a favourable mention in Hot Press magazine, a national television performance by Neil on TG4’s Pop4 and several interviews with Beat 102.
