Hi all I hope you are enjoying the summer...

Just to let you know what's going on at the moment,
I am just boarding on a project with Dave Flynn a great guitarist,Martin Turish a fantastic accordionist and sublimely good fun guy.We are performing on Sunday 16th at the Iveagh garden as part of Africa day came along it's usually sunny on that day.

During the summer I am going to do some gigs with absolutely one The most gentle nicest guy I ever met mr Donal Dinneen-I sometimes feel like a sinner being around him what a nice guy? and off course my own thing. check the gigs column for dates.

Later this year I have some dates around ireland and China with Trasna which is a cross cultural project brought together by the great Mel Mercier.The group is comprised by Liam Omaonlai,Eamon Cagney,Paul O'donell,Morteza an iranian setar player.

And will probably will end this year in America
for a week clinic at the famous and one of the most prestigeous College in the world Berklee.I will perform over there with Berklee's student as that's the aim of the project.

So there is a lot happening but I still want more
