Welcome to my website, I am a Songwriter, Musician, Writer and Composer. I have been writing for many years and have a large collection of work which I will upload & share over the coming months. I have decided to share some of my work with the general public so feel free to browse.
I hope to put some educational writings on this site to help peolpe thinking of starting down the road of higher education, I myself have just completed a degree in Music Technology and Business in NUI. M aynooth, Kildare. Ireland, as a Mature Student and it has been a great experience. So good I am enrolling in a Composition Masters for 2012/13
Now I feel it is time to do some serious writing, I have gained so much inspiration from College as I was free to be creative again.
If anyone is interested in recording some of my work or wants any information on any song, please feel free to contact me.

Hi all we are now into the Fleadh season in Ireland and there is some great music being played here. The Fleadh is in Cavan Town again this year, I can see where the musical influence come from in our family.

This was my Great Great Grandfather, a bit further back than we originally thought.
His residence was Ardarragh, Killashandra, Co. Cavan. I am trying to get the records for Bawnboy, this was a workhouse where people were sent if they were sick, as there was no state aid in them days. He does not show up on the 1901 census or the 1911 census so I would feel he died in 1900-1901 or was in the workhouse at the time. The picture was taken by a photographer named Younge, they lived in Kildallan, Killashandra and also took a photo of John's daughter in law in 1905/6, his son John died in 1904. he was also in Bawnboy when he died.

St. Pauls Church is the oldest church on the island of Manhattan ( or so I am told), a special place well worth a visit if you get a chance. This song was inspired by a visit to Ground Zero in New York in 2007, I found St. Pauls to be a very spiritual place and a very calming place. Before I left I had the words for this song, God knows where they came from. It is my first time to record a complete song myself so its pot luck. I hope you enjoy it.
