MUNDY THE STORY SO FAR. Edmund Enright, from Birr, Co. Offaly, boarded Bus Eireanns finest and headed to Dublin, straight out of school. He played his favourite songs on the jammed streets of the big smoke and took his turns on the stage of The International Bar, where he met some great people who introduced him to the music of John Martyn, Nick Drake and the like. He was one of the lucky ones, the A&R man took his number and the rest, as they say, is Dublin busking history

Late 1996, at the tender age of twenty and with a Sony Music record deal swinging from his backpack, MUNDY, released his debut album Jellylegs. Following world tours with Alanis Morrisette, Neil Young, Van Morrison and The Manic Street Preachers, to name but a few, Jellylegs went on to sell more than 50,000 copies across the globe. One of the tracks from the debut, To You I Bestow, was chosen for the soundtrack to the massive box office smash Romeo and Juliet, directed by the enigmatic Baz Luhrman and the movie soundtrack went on to sell more than 11 million copies worldwide.

Having toured and promoted the bejaysus out of Jellylegs, Mundy started recording his second album for Sony Music, but his ideas and theirs were not always in tandem and despite huge efforts on both sides, the artist and the record company decided to part company in early 2000. It was time to take stock and Mundy headed off across Europe for a bit of much needed R n R. But continuously raging in the back of his mind were the questions: could he keep going without a record company? Could he afford to record another album? Would anyone care? What if everyone thought it was rubbish? Should he get a job in the bank?

Deciding that that life was short and there were plenty more songs to be written and performed, he returned from his travels and set about starting his own mini record label Camcor Recording. In XXX, he recorded and released an EP, The Moon Is A Bullethole and a single "Mexico / July". Both releases were enthusiastically received by critics and fans alike and fired by the good response and the realization that one didnt need to be moved from one radio station to the next in an S Class Mercedes, it wasnt long before the second album would follow.
