Bio:

..
I am originally from Dublin, Ireland but lived in England for a couple of years and eventually settled in Galway. I have been writing music for about 16 years now and together with my band "The Glass Onion Band" i played Festivals such as the Guinness Jazz Festival in Cork, Lodz festival off culture Poland,live radio 3,warsaw,summer regatta ball on Nantucket islands private yaucht club 2006,and have just celebrated ten years resident band in the Quays music hall galway,every Thursday and Sundays nights.

In addition to this, I appeared on BBC TV,Irish TV and radio,National TV and radio Poland,Boston radio USA. "I met Peter two years ago when I was in Ireland as musical director for 'Elvis The Concert'. I was impressed when I heard the music he had written. Sensitive lyrics and flowing melodies along with a beat realy made me take notice.His music is well organized, he can write, he can sing and to me that spells success. Anything I can do to help just let me know." Joe Guercio (Elvis Presley's Band & Musical Arranger, Las Vegas)

Me and my band can be seen regularly performing in local venues to loyal crowds of fans as well as to tourist from all over the world. In 2001, i went on a whirlwind tour of New York, playing 9 gigs in 8 days all over Manhattan. Then, in 2004, again the States but this time i went to Boston USA to promote my original music on the Nemo Festival and on local radio stations and played a couple of gigs.
