Nationality: dual Irish & UK, now living in Australia half year, Ireland half year.I am a composer, arranger, singer-songwriter and worked 20 years in the music industry in both Ireland and UK as co-founder, co-CEO and co-director of Stellar Productions Ltd., and as a sound engineer.
In this capacity, I have worked with many stars, e.g., Chuck Berry, Ronnie Scott, Eric Clapton, Boomtown Rats, Radio Stars, Marty Robbins, Glen Campbell, Paul Brady, Al Stewart, Chieftans, Hawkwind, Alan Stivell, Janis Ian, Kris Kristofferson, Don Everly, John Martyn, Jimi Slevin Band, Jim Armstrong, Light, Blackthorn and many many more.
For several years, Robbie McGrath, now FOH engineer with The Rolling Stones, gained experience working with my company.
I am now producing my own totally original multi-tracked-vocal-harmonies brand of celtic rock and light classic rock, as inspired by past exposure to a wide range of live sound, and my classical music background. I also arrange, in my own style, celtic traditional songs. I can vocal-harmonise on the spot, to almost anything and am open to collaborating with other musicians.
My work is regularly broadcast on local radio, UK radio, radio stations in Queensland (Australia, where I spend about half of every year) and on worldwide podcasts.
Other recent work includes composing and producing the sound track for a short film noir, "Die Unertragliche Instabilitat der Crema" and arrangement of two of my songs (Sleep Now and And This is Christmas) for choral performance by the choir that twice recently won Sainsbury's Choir of the Year (the MCB Girls' Choir) led by Ruth McCartney, MBE.
