SUMMARY:John Buckley McQuaid: A Master Class in Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:"John McQuaid has a brilliant ability to write intelligent pop 
 songs - now don't get me wrong - Pop in the best sense of Folk Music - sto
 ries from soul to soul. Life."     Aarhus Stiftstidende\nThe Willows Ne
 st is very proud to present a Master Class with renowned entertainer\, sin
 ger-songwriter\, fairy-tale author and media artist John Buckley McQuaid.
   His music is a mixture of many styles and influences ranging from Rock 
 to Folk to Jazz to Classical. The lyrics are a cocktail of chaos\, beauty\
 , philosophy and irrepressible black humour. The Master Class includes a p
 resentation by the artist of videos\, songs and fairy tales\, which will h
 elp aspiring and established (song)writers to create lyrics that will tran
 sform their personal life experiences and inner emotional landscapes into 
 moving and engaging tales for their own songs and media.\n"John Buckley Mc
 Quaid was an inspirational experience. His eyes twinkled with life\, his b
 ody language the same when he performed his songs - whether he played guit
 ar or keyboard or was dressed in a splendid old-fashioned Fool's costume l
 ike you'd see on a playing-card Joker. One could but surrender oneself to 
 so much intensity."  Midtjylland Avis\nBorn in Dublin and based in Denmar
 k\, McQuaid has been a  professional musician since 1979\, performing at 
 countless Clubs\, Schools\, Libraries\, Art Museums\, Theaters and Festiva
 ls all over Europe.  He has released four albums\, one an E.P. of origina
 l songs and  two others advanced e-books:\n\nVALENTINE’S DAYS (containi
 ng 29 songs and 29 short movies) https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/valentin

 ps://itunes.apple.com/us/book/bird-world/id1325037890?mt=11\n\nCreating de
 eply personal narratives and modern-day fairy tales has been a focus of Mc
 Quaid's work for decades.  His passionate approach to transforming the de
 eply personal into songs and stories with a universal appeal has been real
 ized in four extended fairy tale recordings.\n\n“THE GIRL &amp\; THE DRA

 mbed]\n“John Buckley McQuaid is a modern day Alchemist…. As an artist 
 he throws a wide net in his one-man show. He is a poetic songwriter who co
 mposes his own music\, a modern creator of fairy tales and in the course o
 f the past year he has painted 170 paintings and done more than 70 sketche
 s. He either paints his songs or his paintings become songs with their ver
 y own tune… John Buckley McQuaid’s lyrics are about love\, about self-
 deception\, about dragons and princesses\, and about the fact that the age
  of heroes is over. “He’s a bit like a cross between Cat Stevens and L
 eonard Cohen” said a young woman who listened to his tape. “I am mysel
 f!” he answers.\n\nEKSTRA BLADET by Eva Bostrup “TRANSFORMING PROBLEMS
  INTO GOLD”
