"Everybody's waiting & everybody's watching your every move..."


Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.

I'm a web designer, musician, blogger, actor, promoter, producer, director and much more besides. There genuinely isn't enough time in the day for what I do but I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

I head up KilkennyMusic.com and recently launched My Music Artists International, a new international artists agency based in Kilkenny representing acts from the US and Australia. This also launched My Music PR, a new press and promotions agency attached to My Music (Ireland).

I've been running my own business since 2005 (EventIreland) and also launched The Devious Theatre Company in 2006. Everything is still going.

I live online. So does my music. So does my photography. I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.

*Note* Bookings for KilkennyMusic.com events won't be handled via Bebo.

  • Cannibal, Where Have You Gone

    My mind is slowing down, my body is in absolute tatters and the show that I dreamt about bringing to the stage for the best part of this decade has come and gone.

    But we made it.

    We actually made it.

    Every night on that stage we were making history and every night the entire cast gave it 110% and more.

    Of course, now that its over, the ole post show blues (see a much older blog post in reference to Colleen Bawn) are raining down, but also with them comes a great feeling of pride and achievement.

    I'm proud of myself, the devious committee, the cast and crew and everyone who was involved last week. I admire every last one of ye and I stand by what I said in the green room before the final show on Saturday night.

    Now, I need to find a cure for my hangover.

  • The Cracked Bucket Band

    I'm playing with The Cracked Bucket Band for the summer, nice to get some kind of music in. Picked up the bass, join the band every Wednesday in Paris Texas in Kilkenny for a night of funky trad / cajun tunes, jigs, reels, the lot.

    Drop in if you can, every Wednesday over the summer, 10pm start.
