The Snooker Hooligans

The Snooker Hooligans are divided by the Irish Sea, but still manage to get time here and there to write and record either in Ireland or North Wales. There is a large catalouge of tunes in varying states, all being worked on to present on this site, hopefully for your pleasure. Also, we are now getting going on producing tracks recorded and mixed in both countries. Tunes you find here will be written and recorded by different combinations of 5 members. Russ (Me) and Ste in North Wales, Martin and Jase in Dublin and John in Belfast. Hope you find something you like, and thanks for looking and listening.

Steve and I (Russ) have been writing and playing together for about 3 years, practice and record at my house in North Wales.

John (now moved to Belfast) and I used to play with another song writer years ago, but then found it much more interesting to do stuff we wrote and he didn't want to do!

Martin (Dublin) is my brother-in-law and we write and record here in North Wales and now over in Dublin during visits. Jason (also Dublin) is a collegue of Martins who has started to jam and write stuff.

We have all done gigs in the past with bands, but haven't performed any of these songs live as yet.
