About / Biography

I offer a high-energy Irish music and entertainment experience, perfect for weddings, parties, festivals, and corporate events. I’m an Irish performer with over 25 years of experience, delivering authentic traditional and contemporary Irish music with a strong focus on crowd participation and atmosphere.

As a solo act, I create a rich, full sound using vocals, Irish bouzouki, harmonicas, and stomp box, giving the energy and presence of a much larger act. My performances are lively, engaging, and designed to get audiences involved from the very first song.

I also work as a céilí caller, guiding guests through fun and accessible Irish dances — even complete beginners can join in — making it ideal for weddings and group celebrations where you want everyone on the floor.

Alongside my solo work, I’m a member of the Irish wedding band Sin A Deir Si, performing regularly at high-level events across Ireland and internationally. This brings a professional, polished edge to every performance.

My repertoire includes Irish ballads, folk, pub classics, traditional tunes, classic Irish songs, and a selection of modern songs from a range of genres — not just Irish — ensuring broad appeal for all audiences. I can tailor the performance to suit relaxed background music, drinks receptions, or full-on party energy.

I’m currently based in the Algarve and available to travel across Europe and worldwide for events.

Ideal for:

  • Weddings (drinks reception, evening entertainment, céilí dancing)

  • Private parties and celebrations

  • Festivals and cultural events

  • Pubs and live music venues

If you're looking for authentic Irish music, real crowd engagement, and a guaranteed great atmosphere, I bring the music and the craic!
