Taking time to show love and huge gratitude to my dear friend Kieran Kelly after an amazing experience on Saturday night playing his Garden Gigs venue, a wee diamond of a spot hidden deep in south Dublin suburbia.
Kieran has had some of the biggest names in Irish music playing there recently from Declan Sinnott to Keith Donald and so many more.
It was truly an honour to be asked by Kieran to play a show there, not just any but the last one of the season this year!
Here's a wee clip of Kieran and myself tearing up the outro of McAlpines Fusiliers 💞🎵🔥
Also it meant a huge amount to have another very special guest, my great pal Brendan Hickey, who got up with me for two of the numbers we perform together in The Launch Crew (Whelan's November 17th folks!!)
Much love to the gentleman who came up to me after the snow and told me it made him feel the same way he felt when he first heard Welcome Here Kind Stranger by Paul Brady...
Thats a compliment of the insanely highest level for me 🙏 especially as Paul was one of my biggest influences
Makes it all worthwhile when your music reaches someone like that!!!
Thank you Moira Owens for the video!
And to everyone who came ❤️🙏
