Bara Gwin is currently my solo project. I entered the world of music busking on Grafton street in the Dublin of the early nineties, along with Colin Scallan , Paddy Casey , Goldmund Byrne (son of Michael Byrne of the legendary Emmet Spiceland ), Chris Wood , and Cion O Callaghan . Other friendly faces from that time and place include Glen Hansard , Paul Brennan , the lovely Kate and Colm Ó Snodaigh from Kila .

I was later based in Berlin, where I became a member of The Slaughterhouse , performed with Marcin Dworski , and got to know the lovely Mieze of MIA. .

Back here in Wales Ive been fortunate enough to bump into The Heights , Swci Boscawen , Y Llongau and Mr Huw , share the internet with Dewi Prysor of Vates and learn karate with Lleuwen Steffan and her rockstar father Steve Eaves . Other local artists that I have performed and/or gotten merry with include Will Williams , Ed Wright , Gingko C and The Polyphobia .
