Just So Stories
This is a project I worked on for many years. It is a piece for Chamber Ensemble and Narrator adapted from Kipling’s timeless ‘Just So Stories’ for children.
I performed the narration on the recording myself. The ensemble that played the piece was made up of some members of the Irish Chamber Orchestra and good friends. The ensemble was lead by Katherine Hunka.
Nest of Feathers
This album consists of arrangements of Traditional Irish Music. I am very proud to come from a line of traditional Irish musicians and balladeers based in Tralee, Co. Kerry. The title of the album comes from the idea that the things we make are constructed from what we grow inside us. Our thoughts, our feelings, our attachments and even our skills
From The Road
During covid we all had the opportunity to pause and reflect on why we do what we do. As for many, the pandemic was a particularly difficult time for my family. My uncle John was an amazing musician and the finest balladeer you will ever hear. Unfortunately he passed away from motor neurone disease while we were under lock down. All the proceeds from this album go to the IMNDA. The album is a collection of live tracks recorded on tour. Of my recordings it is the only one I ask people to purchase and it is only available from Bandcamp.
Irish Guitar
This is a collection of arrangements of tunes I made over my time in college and after. Its mostly traditional tunes with a few small ones I wrote myself. The guitar was not created to play Irish music but its character does reflect many of the things that I love most about it. Many tunes sit awkwardly on the neck but when it works it can be magic.
