Hey all, welcome to my soundcloud page. I am a Galway-based singer-songwriter. Found the beautiful world of busking while I was studying to become a midwife. For the past decade I have been falling into the kindness of others and sharing the metta-melodies. Love is an ocean. Music is a boat.  Its all a gift.
