I have been playing music and writing songs since I can remember, I grew up in Manchester playing with musicians in my first Traditional Irish band "Cairde" with Rob Mager, Rory Geraghty, and Phil Reed.We had success with our songs at local perormances and our first live radio performance on BBC GMR's "The Parlour" and Tv interview on Granada Reports was something to be proud of.Moving to Cork, Ireland in 2002 led my life in a new direction enjoying all the magic of the Emerald Isle, here I enjoyed regular sessions at O' Connells, Glanmire and The North Gate Pub, playing bluegrass, folk,trad, blues and a bit of everything else. Meeting Irene O Connell and setting up the band "The Sad Cows" really spurred my own songwriting and gigs around Cork.In April 2007 I recorded my debut album, "Wandering Child" here in Cork, 10 tracks with a mix of acoustic ballads and instrumentals, with an influence of all the music I have played over the past couple of years. The single "Babygirl" is available to download from www.seeingredrecords.net, and the album is available in "Vibes and Scribes", Cork. I am travelling promoting my album and songs at the moment and having a great time doing so, I hope you enjoy listening to my songs!I believe music is a gift, a special something that cannot be compared to anything else. I will continue to share it .
