“He is one of the most distinctive voices, both literally and figuratively, on the contemporary folk scene.” – Folk Radio UK
“His songs are crafted with a finesse to grab the attention of almost any potential audience, his vocals varnished with a pop style crossed with a blues, folk soul at its core.” – Irish Music Magazine
Plus support from Sam Brothers.
Rooted in the raw traditions of the travelling troubadour, his original compositions are delivered with a startling beauty. A fine guitar player with a truly wonderful voice.
