I was very excited to be asked by my college friend Brendan Walsh to join him for the opening concert performance at the Shannonside Winter Music Festival. Brendan and I spent a few weeks working on a repertoire, over whatsapp and emails, as he lives in Switzerland! We performed a range of songs, some Irish folk, a couple of mine and some other curveballs just for the craic! Check out some of the songs below!!
After the opening concert we played a few songs at Brendan's Picker's Sessions and at a local restaurant over the weekend,and I got to share the stage with the great Luka Bloom! It was a brilliant festival with an endless supply of amazing music, that even took over Bunratty Castle! Check it out and go next year - you will not be disappointed!
I booked a gorgeous little airbnb for myself after the festival to do some writing and work on some new music. A converted barn, in Fanore, with a pot belly stove and a fresh homemade loaf waiting for me on my arrival! Limited wifi and blustery winds and mist kept me indoors and ensured I got some work done! More of that to come at upcoming gigs! Brendan also came to visit and we went for a wander, and we made a couple of videos - below!
Brendan and I have loads of plans for this year - so stay tuned for some more music from us!

Thanks to this blog. I love your songs by the way, I played it a while ago and I felt your love for music and your passion in every music. Continue making music I really appreciated what you guys are making. We don't know, maybe in the future your songs might hit number one in the music charts around the world and became famous just like the other duos right now. I'm very excited for your next songs and videos.
