1. “The Agony” [MP3 (In Briefcase)] [REAL AUDIO]

“This song is part of a collection I named 'The Passion According To Judas.' The mood is most definitely celtic for me. I hope you have some time to give it a listen.”

2. “The Ballad of Ossian” [MP3 (In Briefcase)]

3. “The Death of Cuchulainn” [MP3 (In Briefcase)]

“I consider this song to be in the 'Celtic' genre. It deals with a Celtic-Irish mythological hero who symbolises the dreams and aspirations of both sides of the Irish political/historical divide.”

I was born and bred in Dublin, (Ireland) about a mile from the city itself.  If you want to know more about Dublin, I suggest you go there and experience it for yourself.  I won't get into tourist advertising or nostalgic reminiscing on the homeland.

I've been writing songs the best part of twenty years now.  To begin with, I didn't care much for playing to anybody outside of my family and a few close friends. My choices over the years took me to various parts of the world,  sometimes being away from home for so long.  I began to take a deeper interest in my country's cultural and musical roots.  And a lot of my melodies have a kind of sombre but sweet celtic melancholia about them.

I'm more a plucker than a strummer of the guitar, due to my grounding in classical guitar studies. I've spent a lot of time in recording studios over the years and learned some very valuable lessons in 'Demo-ing Hell'. But I also have some very fond and grateful memories of all those who helped out.  They all know who they are.
