Dia duit,
I am a London-based Trad Irish musician from Dublin with 30 years of gigging experience with top-class players.
Clients have included Guy Richie for whom I was a resident house band playing celebrity parties and the premier for Sherlock Homes movie, Stella McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sting, Prince Harry and Prince William, and Michael D'Higgans (President of Ireland).
​
I can perform solo or with any of my many collaborators who play instruments such as the fiddle, pipes, whistles, and banjo.
​
I regularly put bands and dance callers together for Ceilidh dances for weddings, birthdays and corporate events.
