First of all, thank you for taking the time to come here and find out more about my music. The journey in making this album has been an epic one. I started writing and demoing this album in late 2008, and began recording in late 2009. It's been a massive roller-coaster of a ride getting to this very point. It most certainly would not have been possible without a few key people in my life that I would like to thank. Here goes - Thanks Vicki (for being all four pillars) and being the voice of reason at every corner Brendan O'Brien/Melvin Tree for being a true friend/producer and one of the main reasons this album managed to get completed. You're a diamond. To my entire family Pauline, Raymond, Niall, Louise, Roisin, and to my extended family Noel Taylor and Frank Kearns for all their words of wisdom and guidance. All my friends and supporters for coming out to shows, buying CD's and helping support me along the way. Thank you so much for paving the road on my journey.
