I was born in Cork City in 1967 & grew up in Killarney where I played in my first band in 1986, called Xntrix. I was playing guitar for 3 years at that stage having been inspired to learn to play by the first gig of my life, just after Christmas 1982, the legendary Rory Gallagher, yeah he was the first live act I ever saw, at 15 years old, I was spoilt from the outset :).. My 21 year long musical adventure has taken me on the following trips...

1987 - Down to the Peer - (Rock) (Dingle) (with Tim O'Shea & John Wright)
1988 - Moved to London, became a yuppie & like many of our celtic tiger brothers & sisters today, I eventually found it empty & meaningless so in 1991 I moved to Dublin to join in the post Committments Band Gold Rush!! :)
