Born August 1950 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Moved to L.A. area in the USA in 1973. From there to the Seattle area in 1982 with my wife and several cats. I started playing the guitar around 1960 'cause my sister Imelda started dating Eamon Hughes who played in a "showband' (a very particular Irish phenomenon).Eamon gave my brother Hilary and me our first lessons. What a gift! I'm still earning my living because of it.I have a wide range of musical influences...Everything from 1960 on plus a great affection for Irish folk music,which started when my sister Gabrielle and her boyfriend John Magee took me to see "The Clancy Brothers" I try to include all these genres at my gigs.
