Jimi Cullen <thejimicullenshow>
"The Junkyard poet"


If you want to go on a journey from protest songs through love songs to those that squeeze every drop of emotion out of you, then Jimi Cullen is the man for you. You will laugh and nod with understanding when he sings of hangovers and you'll cry when he reminds you of how many of us walk by homeless people on the street.

He does not preach from a high horse, instead he shows us, sometimes not too gently, of what is really going on and then leaves it up to us.

Jimi is a solo musician from Gorey, South East Ireland. He has been writing and performing for about three years and has built a good reputation as one of the hardest working musicians in Ireland with over 500 gigs to his credit. Needless to say such hard work is resulting in an increasing number of fans who are moved by his music. When he sings his songs you can almost touch the emotion he arouses in his listeners.
