Who are your main influences in life?

My family have always been there for me and

supported me in all i do, I love socializing, being out hearing new music and surfing…this all helps get me through week to week!

Best location you have ever performed at?

Here it goes again eh?!?!
Well im back on the road and it the sun is shining, so all isnt bad! After the promo trip Ryan and I done at the start of the month, I had 1 week of to sort my life out before I left and it just wasn’t enough time….ive left everything behind me and I have packed the most ridiculous pile of C**P that I possibly could have but sure hi….. “Rock n Roll!”

Only good thing is I have a week to chill out and have a few laughs before the real hard work starts to begin!!! So I had a day of in NY and now im heading to philly for a few days, so im looking for ward to that….

The Lads and I were rehearsing the new Celtic Thunder show in Dublin before I left on Sunday and this tour is for definite the best yet, its gonna be so much fun to perform so be sure not to miss out!!! You can see the tour dates and ticket sales @ www.celticthunder.com . So don’t say I didn’t warn you!!!

The surf wasn’t great most of the summer …as expected so I never got a farewell wetting of the head before I went… maybe I’ll get a chance to go and hit the hurricane on the East cost…infact…I am gonna hit...

Hi everyone,
Sitting on the train here after having a nice show and good sushi in St.Louis, and on my way to Kansas I thought I’d write another blog for you guys!!!

Soooo Glasgowbury 2010 eh?!?!? For all of you who could make it, I hope you had a BLAST, (I know I did) and thanks for coming and showing your support… it was the most fun ive had playing at a gig in a long time and fair play to the band, the boys played a blinder considering some of them only had a day to learn the songs!!! And not forgetting the beautifull Rebecca harkin…you played a blinder too on those shakers!!!! All I can say is "roll on next year!"

If any of you guys have any cool pics or Vids of the event post them for all to see!!!!
From the last blog I did I literally have been writing loads and finishing off songs for glasgowbury, I wrote 4 new tunes for it and revamped a few others so I basically havnt left my studio in a month…WEL WORTH IT!

So now Ryan and I are doing a promotrip everywhere round the states, we went from NY to OH to LA to St.louis and now somewhere in the wide yonder on a train to Kansas, were we will do our 4th promo show tonight...
