Session with the Pipers, Dublin, January 2026
What better way to brighten up a dark and dreary January than a trip to Dublin to play at the Cobblestone! Huge thanks to Na Píobairí Uilleann, who invited me to play at 'Session with the Pipers'. It was a full house and a great night's craic.

Irish Cultural Centre, London
December 2025
My last gig of 2025 was at the Irish Culture Centre in Hammersmith, London. It was a fantastic night consisting of a double album launch of Sliocht (with Eamon McElholm, Ciaran Tourish, Mark Maguire and Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde) and 'Caillte sa Cheol' by Ciarán Ó Maonaigh (fiddler extraordinaire from Gaoth Dobhair). He was accompanied by Seán Óg Graham and Caitlín Nic Gabhainn.
We had the pleasure of a grand finale on stage with all of us, making it a night to remember. Thanks to all at the ICC for having us.

Celtic Connections, Glasgow 30 January 2025
Well, what a fantastic night at Celtic Connections. It was an honour to play in my home city, and have my family and friends come along to support me.
