Last week, Friday 26th March I went to Ballyboughal to play in the Fingal Folk Club. I was the featured artist. 😉
Unknown to me I was to be interviewed by gardener and fellow musician Peter Donegan.
Many thanks also to Culch.ie who also featured me as an artist on their site.
Take a look at the video and see how I got on.

Well what a night it was at the Fingal Folk Club on Friday last, with yours truly in the hot seat performing in the first ever guest spot, at this great new venue.
You could hear a pin drop as i picked my way through The Ballad Of Thomas Ashe, with the audience hanging on every word, as the story of this great man unfolded before them. Then is it was all hands clapping along as everyone joined in to the thumping sound of Haul Away.
Back to the silence as i introduced the very emotional Flowers On The Water–the song about the tragic sinking of The Pere Charles and The Honeydew II trawlers in 2007.
As the audience cried out for more ,it was a very satisfied and somewhat moving moment for me as i introduced yet another new song in the guise of Farewell Ring a Rosy Days.
One of the most memorable performances for myself, and i would like to thank my good friends Ronnie and Teddy for all their support in making it possible.

For many people who have emigrated, the big source of contact with home and music, is internet radio.
There are many stations and presenters who are broadcasting around the world to the many Irish and indeed local audiences as well. One such station is Mid West Radio and it’s presenter Michael Fox.
I have had visitors as far flung as Chile to my site, and undoubtably these came through the medium of the internet radio shows. So keep up the good work lads where ever you are, and of course keep playing my songs !
