Dublin born, Cork reared, I have lived and entertained all over Europe and in places as diverse as Hong Kong and San Diego. From the time I was 4 years old and saw my Granny entertaining a roomful of people, something in me was ignited. After many bumps and ego bruises I learnt to share that fire with audiences.  I developed a fun interactive show but my greatest joy was discovering that my own songs lifted the entertainment to yet another level. The performer and writer are inseparable. 

“Not the Life I Ordered” was not so much written and composed as eked out of life. The songs for the show were birthed over an adventurous 20 years. Many of them are belly-achingly funny because they reflect the familiar frustrations of life. The story unfolded naturally around these songs once the characters were clearly defined. The fact that these characters greatly resemble the writer and his brother is more than coincidental.

Over the years I have made my living as an entertainer, having performed for heads of state, top business leaders, conferences, sporting events and private parties, always bringing out the best in the audiences. Some of my songs I entered in song contests winning the USA Song Writers’ Contest (comedy section), among many others. I have specialized in summer residencies at Irish tourist centres drawing full houses every night of the week.

From here “Not the Life I Ordered” will be performed by many acting-singing duos all over the world.
