Although not originally from Clare, he moved to Doolin in late 1979 and quickly became an integral part of the local music tradition. His style is characterized by dynamic accompaniment: powerful bouzouki rhythms, a strong sense of groove, and a keen ear for the musical atmosphere in both sessions and concerts.
He has performed with renowned musicians such as Mary Custy, Sharon Shannon, and Kevin Griffin, and has contributed to numerous albums as both a collaborator and accompanist. In addition, he hosts radio shows on Clare FM, where he often highlights local and lesser-known musicians.
In recognition of his contributions, he received the MÓRglór Award in 2015—an honor celebrating outstanding achievements in traditional music in County Clare.
Over the years I tried to make tabs of his playing. Here's a list of my tabs:
- The Cliffs Of Moher (In Session 2)
- Martyn Wynne's No. 3 (Video Recording with Manus McGuire)
- The Pinches Snuff (Video Recording with Manus McGuire)
- The Laurel Tree (Video Recording with Manus McGuire)
- Down By The Sally Gardens (Song ADAD)
- The Road To Drumlemon (Song with Noirin Lynch)
- Whelan's Old Sow (with Brid O'Gorman)
