About Me

CD now available via CD-Baby
Or on Apple iTunes here
Been playing in various bands for around 18 years, a bit rusty now-a-days but still really enjoy it. Used to depend on the extra cash to cover equipment costs so played social clubs, weddings, session stuff and venues that rarely could be called exciting.
Back in the early 90's I gave music a rest to study for my career and then played with a few local bands doing the pub rounds, which was a lot of fun. We played heavy rock, punk, MOR just about anything from Dire Straights to Van Halen with the occasional band written songs.
Influences are Gary Moore, Mark Knofler, Dave Gilmore, and I loved the first Damien Rice album, other personal favourites are Avril, Puddle of Mud, Jimmy Eats World, Hoobastank, Sting, I could go on and on, there really are far too many to list!
I now work in Cork and travel fairly often so can't really gig, and the last thing a band needs is a wondering guitarist when trying to organise gigs. Hence turning to a home studio to keep my hand in and record a few CD's.
Would love to collaborate with other musicians / songwriters and still have dreams about possibly being "discovered" some day LOL!
I hope you enjoy the songs on the site and would be grateful for feedback, contact with others like me.
Warmest regards to all Andy
