I have recorded my new album with my old Friend "Ray McLoughlin" Ray has just built a new recording studio in Coralstown Mullingar Co. Westmeath. The studio is called RMC Recording studio and I have made history by being the first artist to record in it.
Ray is Daniel O'Donnell's keyboard player and is a very talented guy not only in playing but also in producing. I would like to wish Ray & Josephine and their son Michael great success with their new venture, and hope his first project is a major success (I wish).

To all who have Pre-Ordered the latest "Live" CD "St.Patricks day Live" all CD's have been dispatched Thanks to all who ordered and hope you enjoy them.

St.Patrick's day has come and gone and what a time we had at the "Hole in the wall" The week before and the week after was total mayhem. A big "THANK YOU" to all our friends who come back year after year to celebrate the most important day in the Irish calendar.
I also succeeded in recording St.Patrick's night in the "Hole in the wall" and I have to say it's my best live recording to Date. I have a Tascam 24 track portable home studio, which allowed me to record St.Patrick's night, take it home mix it,
run it through my computer and gave me fantastic results. My Parents were also over for the Celebrations and had a ball. My Father an Ex-Showband singer who fronted a showband in the 60's & 70's called Frankie & the Black dots graced the stage several times through his holiday,
And on St. Patricks night took the house down. I decide to finish the album off with my Dad singing "It takes people like you to make people like me". It has now become the anthem of the "Hole in the wall"
I would like to Thank the Family of Friends that come to the "Hole in the wall" for making St. Patricks day such a success.

For those of you who have just found my website and are wondering where I perform......
I am based on the sunshine Island of Tenerife where I entertain to a full house 6 night's a week in the world famous "Hole in the Wall". It is known to be one of the busiest bar's in Las Americas and was opened by myself and my great friend Greg James in June 1996.
I am very lucky or should I say blessed to be part of a fantastic establishment which has helped me launch my music career, with clientele from all over Europe, America and Australia.
The "Hole in the wall" is a fine stage to sell myself worldwide.

Even though I sing six nights a week in the "Hole in the Wall" I still take time to do some mini Tours and Major Concerts in the UK & Ireland. I also will be releasing albums which will be on sale on my website and outlets nationwide.
My most recent album "Everything you do" has been a Great success for me and has been in many country playlists worldwide. The title track from the album reached no 2 in the British Independent Country Charts. Track 3 "Waltz with me tonight" slipped in to the top ten in the American
Roots Charts.

I am promoted in America by RhonBob Promotions. They are a great company that make you feel as if you are the only artist they are Promoting. Thanks Rhon and all the Staff for your hard work.

For my fellow Musicians: Playing Guitar 6 nights a week can be expensive having to change strings every 5-7 days. I was put on to "Elixir strings" which are known to last 2-4 times longer than normal strings.
It's true, unfortunately they retail at €22.50 here in Tenerife so I found a web site called "Strings & beyond". They have great deals on strings I can get my elixir strings for $11.50 (approx €9)
Believe me the strings last 3-4 weeks and sometimes longer. Check out Strings & Beyond in the website links below.

I have just come across a really nice guy with a great website, His name is Phil McLaughlin and for those of you who like Country and Irish his website is a must. Click on the link "PhilMcLaughlin" below.
If you are looking for a good restaurant with great food at very reasonable prices try my favourite eatery "Casa Tres" SunSet Bay Torviscas, You won't be disappointed.
Casa Tres is an Irish owned restaurant that has built up a great reputation, It's owned by Mark & Mags Murray who will give you a great Irish welcome. Check out their website below.
