Description

I'm an Irish band-leader and singer/songwriter and I play guitar, bodhran and whistles. I can entertain and hold a crowd to the extent several of my weekly residencies in Auckland have lasted up to ten years. I understand crowds and perform accordingly. I can play the standard pub Irish songs and tunes but also crank out some great contemporary covers and originals when required. I have a very strong work ethic and understand the need to fit in with whatever the hosts demands are. My current set also contains music from the following artists The Pogue’s/Lorde/Lady Gaga/Rihanna/Kris Kristoffe ...

Experience

My first musical experiences were as a teenager in London playing original rock music. I moved to Auckland NZ in the 90's and have been playing Irish music there ever since, I'm now a full-time musician, living comfortably in The Coromandel area and still getting a buzz from playing music, sometimes up to five times per week.
