About Me


Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
To any bands/ artists looking to add me as a friend, sorry, but I was getting so many band requests I had to block them. If you think I'd actually be interested in the music you make, feel free to message me and I'll add you if I like what I hear. Sorry to be awkward, but I've only so much time in my day to listen to you all.....
Meantime, the bio etc....
Hmmmm. Well I've been playing guitar nearly as long as I can remember, and singing even longer. Started writing songs at age 14 and performing in my late teens/early twenties.
I'm currently living near Kingston-upon-Thames having grown up in Galway and studied in Dublin and Maynooth.
Along with 2 brothers and Ms Anna Lee I've founded People In The Moon records as a label to release our various attacks on the aural space.
Oh yeah, and earlier today I recorded a video of one of my older songs (from '99). This is New York Cheer
Get this video and more at MySpace.com
And then I recorded another one. This time it was an old favourite from the Maynooth singer/songwriter nights.....click below here for Tea
Get this video and more at MySpace.com
And here's Anna Lee's video for Forbidden.
Ebby edited the video...

New Song - ish

Ok, so it was written a few years ago and has often been performed, but I figured there's no harm throwing New Every Day up here. It was written after hearing about the Peace One Dayorganisation. Chcc...
