About Me

I started to have a serious interest in music when i was about eleven years old..I remember my dad was a johnny cash fan and my mam a beatles fan(both of whom i got into later) but it was mostly my brother who put me onto a lot of stuff and from there i developed a further interest of my own..I bought a bass and learned how to play when i was about 17 and changed to guitar at 19..Myself and a friend michael were in a couple of (never leave the)garage bands called 'rain gel' and 'reap the whirlwind' before actually playing our first live gig as a duo called 'buffalo whitewater' in our towns arts centre in wexford in dec' 1999..After a couple of years i went alone under the name 'finn' and then just plain old me..My fondest memory is playing with 'the blind boys of alabama' after being asked on the spot just that day.I was so nervous standing behind the curtain peeping out at a full house drinking southern comfort but i survived it and managed to play many more stretching as far as dublin to bleeker street in greenwich village,new york...and so it all goes..
