Czerish Festival presents: Mundy - CANCELLED!!

At age 18, Mundy moved to Dublin and began performing on infamous busker haven Grafton Street, and at open-mike nights at the nearby International Bar.  Less than two years later, Mundy signed with Sony subsidiary Epic Records, and released his debut single, "To You I Bestow”, shortly before his album “Jelly Legs” was released in October 1996.  "To You I Bestow" was licensed for inclusion on the soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann's Shakespeare adaptation Romeo & Juliet, alongside tracks by Radiohead and Garbage. The soundtrack went on to sell 11 million copies and “Jelly Legs” sold a respectable 50,000 worldwide.

Having toured both sides of the Atlantic, including support slots with Alanis Morissette, Bob Dylan and also Neil Young, Mundy began working on his second album in 1999 with producer Tommy D. (Kylie Minogue, Catatonia).  Founding his own label, Camcor Records, Mundy released “24 Star Hotel” which outsold its predecessor, going double platinum in Ireland. The follow-up, “Raining Down Arrows”, was produced by Texan Mark Addison and debuted at number one in the Irish charts, achieving platinum status. In 2006, Mundy released his first live album a CD/DVD combo entitled Live & Confused, featuring a duet on Steve Earle's "Galway Girl" with accordionist Sharon Shannon, which later charted as a single. “Live & Confused” was certified platinum in 2007.  His last album ‘Shuffle’ see’s Mundy flicking through lesser known tracks of many of the great songwriters like Sparklehorse and Gillian Welch with some truck stops to visit Tom Waits, John Prine, Paul Simon and Lucinda Williams along the way.
