Virtual Services Offer

Live streaming Irish Musician

I am available to entertain online at a prearranged time to sing someones favorite song or happy birthday etc I can also perform for 45 min sets as a virtual Musician/entertainer for parties or just general entertainment for whatever occasion, even just for the sake of it! . I think its a good idea and maybe will be of value to Irish expats or decedents living around the world as I can play and sing a lot of the Irish favorites but bare in mind I can also sing many other genres Check my videos for some samples
