Gigs and news
Booking now for the UK and internationally for the rest of 2023 and the forthcoming Irish tour June 13th - 28th


March and April were ludicrously busy. I gigged flat out across the country throughout March and of course the St Patrick’s celebrations were a big part of that. I am not complaining though, it’s been so good to get back out there after the lockdown and the issues from the pandemic. I’ve been playing at a lot of funerals, wakes and private parties since the beginning of the year and also squeezed in a fabulous set of gigs in Lapland, Sweden in February with Caroline Regan and James Queally. I spent part of April doing gigs in sunny Alicante out in Spain. It was great and I really enjoyed the experience. Thanks to all of you, wherever you are for coming to the gigs and for listening to my music! I’ve added some dates in Birmingham for later this year and I’m currently filling as many dates as possible for my imminent Irish tour. I am over the moon with the response so far and I will try to play in as many counties as I can. If you have a gig to offer (anywhere in Ireland) please call or WhatsApp me!
Pub gigs and the Irish tour
Since I got back from the USA last September I decided to take on a few pub gigs. I’ve really enjoyed getting back to them and looking forward to doing a few more between here and the end of the year.
The Gateway in Reading, Angie’s bar in Willesden and the Orchard in Croydon, were all great craic and a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old faces, many whom I hadn’t seen for several years.
The Swedish gigs went fantastically and I’m currently chatting with some other overseas venues about the possibility of heading abroad before the summer.
I’ve finally got around to organising the Irish tour, I can only get over for a couple of weeks in June due to other commitments, but I’m hoping to put a more extensive tour together for the autumn. I’ll keep you posted.
My latest album from Dolphin is out now
The latest album and single
My De Valera song was recently released on a Dolphin records compilation album entitled ‘Birth of our Nation’. It’s available now.
I’m also working on a brand new album.
I’m determined to find the time to do so, amongst all else that’s going on, as soon I can.
My target is to have it finished by the end of 2023.
Meanwhile, my very latest single ‘The Irish and the Choctaw Tale’ is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube, Apple music, etc.
The song tells the incredible story of the historic connection between the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma and the Irish people that began in 1847.
Available via all usual streaming platforms
