Born in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1971.
Started playing guitar at 14 and gigging locally with a band at 17.
Influenced by guitar greats such as Gary Moore, David Gilmour, Peter Green, Mark Knopler and Snowy White.
Apart from playing with bands, a few years back i also studied sound engineering at poppy hill studios, Naas, Co. Kildare which included digital audio recording, editing and mastering which has definitely stood to me
since.
I`ve been involved with numberous cover bands throughout the years.
I recently played a couple of acoustic gigs with a friend in New York which i really enjoyed.
The Pink Floyd Xperience is the biggest project i have been involved in, not purely because of the size of the band but because of the production end of it.
Its great combining the sound of the band, the lighting and the visuals.
