Shaolin Punk

Michael Murphy fell into the music industry by accident, eventually finding himself working in the multimillion dollar music mayhem of 90’s Manhattan. Michael worked A&R for several labels, he toured with The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, he brought Jeff Buckley to Ireland for his first gig outside New York, and all the time his punk leanings had him kicking against the behaviour and beliefs he saw around him. Dr. Michael Murphy is now a lecturer in the Institute of Art Design and Technology in Dun Laoghaire.
