About Me

Welcome. I hail from London West, parents from Galway and Clare area, Ireland West. I have been playing Irish trad for a few moons now..I also manage events and festivals and am involved in arts and music administration. I have had the great fortune to play with some amazing people at home, in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I am returning to playing now after a wee break; learning, listening, writing and enjoying the creativity of all. Working on a solo recording and getting more trips organised to the other side of the planet..that's the deal with two homes! I have a great interest in history, photography, how old and new ajoin.......too many interests, and delighted to have them. I will be putting different traditional/acoustic tracks up once I get to grips with my recording station software! So, enjoy, thanks for visiting and leave me a message. Mike
