First stop this week was Sion Mills on Monday night. It was my first time in Sion Mills and I had a great time. I was performing at a charity function for a lovely couple called Raymond and Eunice Moan. I arrived up at the gig a little earlier than normal to meet up with Country Harmony, a fantastic band, who were backing me that night. I always like to go through which songs I’m doing with every band just to make sure everyone’s happy and knows exactly what’s going on. Along with myself there was also a list of fabulous country singers. Read more »

01.03.10: ‘9 to 5′ and getting ready for Kerry
After my lovely week in Donegal I returned home to Glasgow back to my 9-5pm lifestyle. As some of you may know when I’m not singing I am at home working for my dad in the office of his construction business.
It doesn’t come close to singing as I love every minute of when I am on stage, but it keeps me going in life and I’m lucky to have it to fall back on. Read more »

22.02.10: A night with ‘The Three Amigos’
Well I returned back to sunny Donegal on Tuesday of last week. My mum and I took the flight to Derry managing to bypass my brother Christopher and his Fiancee Clare who were over for the weekend and took our flight home.
Although I wasn’t actually due to be in Donegal until Thursday, I decided to come over a couple of days early and catch the three Amigos Grand Tour featuring my Glór Tire mentor and friend Robert Mizzell, Jimmy Buckley and Patrick Feeney. Read more »

15.02.10: An unforgettable night in Gortahork
This week I was so happy to return to my home in Falcarragh. A few weeks ago John Cannon from Gortahork phoned me and asked me if I was available to headline a fund-raising event for Haiti in the Ostan Loch Altan hotel on the 6th of February.
Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity to perform in the town that has supported me so much over the past few months, but also because it was for such a good cause. Read more »
