I am a singer and multi-instrumentalist. My initial incarnation was as a           wyrd/psych-folk singer-musician, and saw my debut solo album, Wednesday’s Child, released in  2010. Subsequent (unreleased) solo albums include self-penned material alongside an eclectic mix of covers from various genres. 

I have gigged and/or recorded with Elowen, The Rowan Amber Mill (album releases include 'Midsummers', 'Heartwood' and 'Folk Devils and Moral Panics' ) Corncrow (album releases include 'Sweet Nightingale' and 'So Brightly Shining') The Atwood Machine, Mats Bergman's 'Burnt More Bridges Than Cross The River Thames' vinyl release, Dead Melodies 'Murken Hollow' and featured on various collaborations; releases including Dark Britannica's We Bring You A King With A Head Of Gold and Rif Mountain's Echoes From The Mountain, all widely available .

The lockdown gave me ample opportunity for music to be made at Wyrd House Studio. Back to my folky roots, and after a 10 year hiatus, The Rowan Amber Mill released a mini-album 'Among the Gorse To Settle Scores', ahead of the full-length 'Golden Strings To Tether The Sun'. Please head over to https://rowanambermill.bandcamp.com/ where you will find this nestling in all the other RAM goodness.

'Click on Start' was the title of my self released debut album. I had just arrived home after travelling around America. It was 2005. I brought a notebook full of songs and demos down to Ashville studio, Co Meath, and started recording. Frank McGing was the engineer and studio operator. It was an acoustic singer-songwriter type album, using instruments such as guitars, harmonica, Hammond organ, violin and piano to achieve its 'Folk/Americana' and even 'Gospel' type sound. Laid back and rootsy, Hotpress Magazine wrote, "From the carnival-like background of 'Best For Her' to the honest truths of 'Home' and 'Australia', 'Click on Start' is a beautifully arranged collection of songs". Live versions of the songs were later captured at an intimate gig in The Cherrytree music venue, Dublin. These live recordings were included as extras on 'Dead Man Walking'; an alternative country studio track I recorded in 2008, with some friends and members of 'The Quicksand Band'. We tracked it live and if my memory serves me right, we got it down on the second take. After that, my son was born and I took a break from making music.

In 2012, unaware of its depths, I took a nosedive into the bottomless pit of sound recording. I started out from scratch and invested in Pro Tools (a digital audio workstation) along with a half decent microphone and a whole lot of unanticipated time. In 2013, the singles 'Big Jets Burning' and 'You Can Make It' were conceived and released. These songs were products of my new found discovery of midi, virtual instruments and drum machines.
In 2015, I brought some new songs down to Ashville. I had taken them as far as I could with my current setup. I needed an experienced engineer with pro equipment and I also needed a high end microphone to record the vocals (ie, the Lucas cs-1). Back in the control room with Frank, we decided it was time to get more musicians on board. With friends, Joe Donegan of 'Discopunks' (guitar), Rory Doyle of 'Hozier' (drums) and Bill Blackmore of 'Mixtapes From The Underground' (trumpet), the singles 'Tear Out This Heartache' and 'Skybirds' got the production they needed in order to withstand the flux of todays commercial and social media markets.

I released 'Tear Out This Heartache' in March 2016. It was well received within the media and was added to various playlists on Irish radio.

"It really builds into something funky. I like it a lot."- Dan Hegarty RTE 2fm.

'Skybirds' was the most recent single. It was released on June 24th, 2016. It featured as one of Nialler9's 'Songs of the Week' in The Irish Times, July 8th, 2016.
