Hello, friends—both old and new! Welcome to my new website, your central hub for following my journey, staying updated on the latest news, and exploring my merchandise.
After many years of travelling and performing with various bands and artists, I’ve decided to take the leap and go solo, presenting my shows tailored just for you. This marks an exciting new chapter in my musical career, and I’m eager to share it with all of you.
I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the leading Irish and international acts across a variety of countries. I’ve collaborated with local legends like Roly Daniels, Philomena Begley, Dominic Kirwan, and Mike Denver, and have had the honour of appearing on esteemed networks such as BBC, ITV, RTE, and TG4. Additionally, I’ve shared the stage with iconic artists including P.J. Proby, Gerry Marsden, Les McKeown (of Bay City Rollers fame), and Frank Ifield, among many others. One of my first bands, American Express, enjoyed considerable success, opening for Johnny Cash twice and touring with legends like Lonnie Donegan, Matchbox, and Rose Marie during a memorable five-week residency at the iconic Casino Restaurant in Monte Carlo. We also completed an extensive UK tour with the legendary Don Williams, an experience that holds a special place in my heart.
I’ve had the pleasure of working on cruise ships with my longtime friend Stephen Smyth, where we visited incredible destinations such as America, Mexico, Canada, and Alaska. Touring across Europe with Gerry Flynn and Enjoy Travel has also been a highlight of my career, allowing me to connect with fans from diverse cultures and backgrounds.
Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be releasing not one, but two albums this year! I’m pouring my heart and soul into these projects, and I can’t wait for you to hear them. Additionally, I have several exciting live shows lined up for 2025, so be sure to check back for updates right here on my website.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my new online home.
Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to catch up with you all soon!
