Career: During the fifties formed a skiffle group which included myself, Jimmy and Johnny Jennings, Jimmy Mc Closkey and Charlie O’ Hagan.

Produced a cassette single ‘Derry Long Ago’ and an album ‘The Peninsula’ in my small home studio. Both sold reasonably well. Over the years reached the finals of twenty song contests including ‘The Cavan International Song Contest’. Have appeared on a couple of T.V. shows including ‘The Jerry Kelly Show’ singing my own songs. To date I’ve written approximately 250 songs and 60 instrumental pieces.

Musical Tastes; Any good music especially Blues, Jazz, Folk and Classical guitar music.
Instruments played; Guitar, Bass, Harmonica, Keyboards(well sort of) and three stringed electric wabblin’ brush.
Hobbies; Composing, astronomy and writing.
Ambition; To be a successful composer (I’d better get a move on) especially in the field of T.V. and film theme music, and to see my name up in the Springtown Camp website.
