An exciting Springtime!Hello from my 6th tour with Lord of The Dance!
Having toured three weeks already there is still much terrain to cover in the remaining two.
We started out in Georgia and we traveled eastbound performing in most of the southern states. Heading north after Florida, we will finish in Boston in the middle of May. Check out my official websites if you are thinking of coming to see me

I was honoured to sing at the Irish Society Grand Ball. That was wonderful. David Munro was my pianist and we brought the house down! That was a lot of fun indeed and we hope to do it again!
I toured as guest soloist on the Canadian Tenors' Christmas tour of western Canada in December. We did several concerts in Victoria and Vancouver Island. This coincided with their album release on which I feature. Check out their website

Recently, Ragus became one of my favourite shows! I toured the Netherlands with them in November. What talent! What fun! Have a look at some photos if you wish on their official website
