About Me

Raised and grazed in 70's Ireland and now living in London, I came to writing songs late in life. My real job is that of an actor. I became an actor at the age of 30 and have spent the last 15 years working my craft with the likes of the RSC, National, West end and numerous TV and film appearances. I had a motorcycle accident , damaged my left hand and started to play guitar as a form of physiotherapy. My friend Neil MacColl heard me sing and wouldn't let it lie ! He encouraged me to write and so I did ... All my musician friends have given me the courage to carry on writing . It is the friendship and belief of Neil MacColl, Steve Lomass and Dave Sutherland who have made me play live ( A totally different world to acting )Neil MacColl helped me record some songs and hopefully you enjoy them .
