Well folks this really is pinch yourself stuff for me today! This iconic venue holds a very special place in my heart as I had my first guest appearances here with Aslan and The Dubliners Official but I always dreamed of a day that I would play the venue with my own band.

Myself and The Sons have built a following all over the country and abroad and we are calling you from the 4 corners of the country to come join us in our first night at the iconic Vicar Street. Please God the first of many ๐ฌ. Huge thank you to Pat Egan Management for backing myself and The Sons on this venture A dream that began at 17.... Coming true at 37. Thank you all so much.

Read More 6th Nov 2022People of Beaumont assemble!!! I spent all my childhood and most of my adolescence in Rockfield park. It has inspired me to write songs such as The Hands of Time https://youtu.be/qKmKrPK8elk๐ A place very near and dear to my heart. Playing football for the first time, meeting girls, making friends and getting up to mischief. When my path went in a musical direction I often wondered what it would be like to play a gig in the park. Well I need wonder no more. Thanks to some fantastic work by residents of the area and the help of Dublin City Council an events day called Faoin Speir has been organised on June 18th 2022 and I am proud to say myself and The Rising Sons have been asked to lend ourselves to the occasion. Events taking place all throughout the day and we will be taking to the stage at 6pm. Tell your friends and come join us! Fingers crossed for good weather๐ค

I was joking of course but as luck would have it he needed someone for a very small cameo part and I was happy to oblige. Will be in cinemas later in 2022!

Read More 29th May 2022Myself and The Rising Sons kicked off our very first tour to a sold out crowd in Liberty Hall before the world got turned upside down. On the night we had the fabulous Lisa Lambe join us as a special guest. It very much feels like things are going full circle now as we will finish this tour exactly how we started our last in the same amazing venue with the same amazing special guest in Lisa. For me Lisa is the best female vocalist in the country. Her album Juniper is just fantastic and I am delighted to have her join us for the finale of this tour. Home crowd, amazing venue that promises to be memorable occasion.
