I was born in Maghera a small market town in mid-ulster the year was 1947. I came from a family of eight children four boys and four girls and knew what hard times were in evidence growing up. Amidst all the usual hardships of those days we were blessed with having a wonderful mother who showered us with genuine love. This love would undoubtedly serve us to overcome the trials and tribulations and help us to look on the bright side of life regardless. Mother may not be with us anymore but her memory lives on within us forever.  I am therefore honoured and delighted to present to you my very first album.

 

I did go on to enjoy a wonderful and successful career in the  drinks business which to this day has stood me in fine fest.  All my adult life I always enjoyed singing at every opportunity be it in concerts, bars or weddings. Down the years I had the good fortune of winning two talent competitions and the one that sticks out more was the time I was in  Southport England the year was 1998. It was the gathering of Irish exiles who made the trip to Southport to celebrate their Irish heritage and meet up with old friends of Irish descend. They always had a singing talent competition and my friends persuaded me to enter. I chose two Irish ballads and stole the show.

 

This gave me the encouragement to one day record my debut album. So having said all that I am delighted to welcome you to that debut album entitled:- Down Memory Lane My Way. I have dedicated this album to my beloved mother who was a complete inspiration to me throughout my life and to remember her wonderful legacy.
