The following are links to selected pages still in existence from the original incarnation of the official Michael McDermott website, michael-mcdermott.com, which debuted on the world wide web in mid-1999.  If you're new to the McDermott community, I think you'll find many of the articles and interviews featured as part of The Critics Corner provide much interesting insight into the artist and his music, from the earliest releases through the Last Chance Lounge era.  

The bottom link is for what was the official newsletter during 2001 and 2002, entitled Behind The Curtain, and which likewise contains info that may be of interest.

I have also begun adding more recent article links as these become available...

Enjoy.
