Hey Guys, My name is Brandon and I'm a singer and musician from Ireland currently living in Leipzig.. My brother and I make our living from performing concerts and busking around the world. Or at least we try to make a living by travelling everywhere we can by playing concerts! if you do come down to Leipzig to visit, hopefully we can get to show you some of our music.

my band with my twin brother is called The Ocelots

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I believe that there's good genuine people everywhere in the world, and couchsurfing is a great way to meet them. Also because hotels are boring as hell.

Interests

Films: I've seen pretty much all of the top 250 on imdb so put me in a room and tell me to talk about films I'll be there for a very long time. I love old classics and world cinema mainly..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done well, I've recently written songs that were the first ever songs to be recorded in Warner Bros (parlaphone) new studio in London. That's probably my biggest achievement. Cycle trip around Ireland and touring with Jack Johnson is up there too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone how to play most string instruments, The harmonica. The tin whistle . Sourdough bread, rollerskating. Irishisms. I can teach someone how to make a bird noise with their hands, how to make a duck using paper, a chicken using a teatowel, how to open a beer bottle with a toaster.
