Claire Mulkieran Claire Mulkieran is a glorified computer programmer by trade, but you can call her a “Systems Secu She has a short temper, but is not ill-tempered.

Claire Mulkieran lives in Asheville, North Carolina, and runs a small computer systems security firm with a modest number of employees who work out of the large, two-story home she inherited from an aunt. Claire is cantankerous, drinks too much, and is prone to what friends call either demon-possession or blackouts, depending upon which friend you ask. She's easy to get along with, and gets away w

ith a lot because, despite cresting 30, she's still cute and knows how to play off of it. Mostly she's weary. And she's probably tired of your s**t.

Because you have missed only one show in 26 years. Because you had a lump cut out of your breast and it was so painful you had to have your arm in a sling to help tamper the pain but you played the shows anyway. Because you went through a painful divorce but you showed up to every show anyway. Because you lost your mother but you turned up to work nevertheless. Because you got told you were just a clock face to the mechanism. Because you were described as looking like a broom turned upside down. A mad witch. A slut, a phoney and a fake. Because you were told you were only appreciated by people who didn’t like music. Because you were told you were too loud and far too opinionated and not talented enough. Because you were told to back off and sit down. Because you were told you had “too many ideas”. Because you were told you didn’t have ideas enough. Because everything that went wrong was allegedly all your fault. Because it was suggested to you that you should retire at 54. Because you were asked after 35 years of playing and writing in bands whether you considered yourself a musician. Because you were asked time and time again with voices laden with pity why you chose never to have any children. Because you were asked if you even knew what a hi-hat was let alone hear it. Because you were told you were “made” by those you worked with. Because you were told you were too old. Because they said you were over. And because they said you should be done.
For all of these things and much more besides…..
You keep going. And you keep going with a healthy dose of a f**k you too and never mind the bo****ks.
