Tell us three things about yourself . . .

I’m a passionate musician and songwriter for over 25 years.

I Live in my beloved Cobh, Co. Cork.

I've spent my career toggling between music production and Film/TV Production.

How would you describe your music?

My music is a sincere blend of Indie rock-pop, entrenched in heartfelt, infectious melody with true life event storytelling, deep lyrics and can be quite cinematic.

Who are your musical inspirations?

My greatest inspirations are David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Kelly Jones from Stereophonics, the entire story of Led Zeppelin, Guy Garvey from Elbow, Coldplay and finally Tears for Fears

What was the first gig you ever went to?

Motörhead in Carlisle, UK - way, way back!!

What was the first record you ever bought?

Obsession by UFO. I was mad into UFO as a teenager, when I finally grew out of my "punk rock" phase.

What’s your favourite song right now?

Can We Talk by Sam Fender. Just a power-driver of a choon !

Favourite lyric of all time?

Queen of Heaven by The Deep Hour: "She held our sons and daughters in the dark before the dawn". Such a strong visual lyric about a very strong, influential woman.

If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen. This song is not only one of the most beautiful songs ever written but has a very deep and special meaning for me.
