Chloe, already hanging at the bar with Mum!

Aoibhne
instruments: dijereedoo, shakers, and vocals
Nationality: Irish
Aoibhne showed up on the scene early in the Year of the Dragon. Although 'the chicks' had already been practicing for a week or so, we welcomed the deep sound of the dij.
Aoibhne hung out in Taiwan for more than a year. She performed in both Spring Scream Dragon and Snake, as well as our many shows in between.
She has been home in Ireland for a while now, hypnotizing people on the street with the circular beat of the dijereedoo.

hellohello!!
at work at the moment in my studio-love it so much..still waiting for money
to really start rolling in but i was expecting that to be slow. im actually
doing work with the huge building that never got finished in taichung, that
i could see
from the apartment window...& from all over, plus all the fish photos
from the market in kenting at the moment. you wouldnt believe how much i
still think about taiwan & everyone in it. miss it a lot. my company
is called 'formosa design'..nobody here has ever heard of formosa which
is wierd for us to imagine cus its a word that so in our faces (or was in
my case) all over the place.
the baby is so cute!! kicking like mad. im still convinced its a boy but no idea really. its lovely company to feel it squirm inside me non-stop. it loves coffee, red wine & chocolate & particularly indian take-out food. i think cus it makes my tummy girgle more than any other food? so im about 24 weeks- 5 & half months & im still quite small & neat which is good, lots of energy. its really amazing!!
im doing my website with another girl who is helping me. its not ready yet cus shes up to her eyes with other stuff but hopefully by the end of next week it should be ready, please check it out!! its at formosadesign.com
everyone else, lots of love to you all.
heres a photo of me & my boobs & little bump about 6 weeks ago in
spain. its bigger now of course...
talk to you all soon
love aoibhsxxxxxxxzx
summer in dublin is good, loving the studio here,
doing lots of artwork. i called myself formosa in the end-nobody has heard
of it
here which makes it better, plus it has 'form' in it!
baby is due in january, im so excited. being pregnant
is amazing, it gives me
constant little rushes & butterflies... june
