I was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1978. I have been playing music professionally since 1994. It was then I joined my first band (Eire Og), with whom I played for around 7 years. During that time I was privileged to play in many different cities and countries ranging from London, Belfast, Dublin and New York to name just a few. Since then I have been involved in a few different musical projects, playing with bands such as Partisan and one of my current projects, The Exiles. I have also been performing solo since 2001.
