"Growing up I was always struck by the electricity generated by a concert given by The Dubliners. Looking back I can see clearly that the group was exceptional not only because of the individual strength of the performers but that combined they were a force of nature. That energy and excitement coupled with the unbridled joy of a Dubliners audience made for a night’s entertainment that felt more like a party in full swing where the hosts and guests were in perfect harmony.
​
My ambitions as a singer have always been modest as a result! Having spent my life working in theatre, along the road music has always played a big part in my tool box as an actor in shows like The Abbey Theatre production of The Risen People or Landmark/Olympia production of Once and, over the years, the enjoyment of playing small venues with friends.
​
In the years since my father passed away I've come to enjoy listening back over his musical legacy and the wealth of material has reawakened not only a sense of pride but also deep appreciation."
