Thanks for stopping by, Here’s a bit about me…….
I’m a singer/songwriter of Anglo Irish descent, (My mum was Irish). I’m currently based in the UK, although I’m more than happy to combine my love of music with my love of travelling.
My dad bought me my first Guitar when I was 9, he played banjo and Ukulele, so he showed me a few chords and I worked the rest out for myself.
Although my musical influences are diverse some of the main ones are The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Elvis, The Beatles, plus contemporary artists like Keith Urban and Martina McBride, My core sound is Country - Rock/Pop, Americana with a Celtic feel thrown in here and there.
I’ve worked in most major studios in the UK and had recording and publishing deals with both major and indie companies in the UK, Europe and USA,with songs published by Warner/Chappell and Morrison Leahy Music. Working with co-writers and producers including Peter Collins [Bon Jovi, Leann Rimes etc] Colin Thurston [Duran, Duran], Dave Ambrose [Fleetwood Mac, EMI) D-Side, Eric Stewart [10.cc], Richard Niles and on my most recent trip to Nashville Grammy award winner Bobby E Boyd.
I’m recording my own EP, I‘ll release it independently later this year, and will be playing some acoustic gigs. Next year I plan to get out on the road with a full band........I'm in the process of putting the band together, so if you're interested get in touch.
As a Songwriter, writing for other people, in addition to the catalogue of songs I have available for cover…. I’m currently working with several talented artists and co-writers. I’m always interested in exploring new writing, production and development partnerships and have collaborated on several co-writing and recording projects via the internet.
I'll be making regular trips to Nashville.
