About Me |
I am a Galwayman.I studied at the National College of Art,Dublin
and now live in Connemara.
In the sixties I formed the folkband SWEENEY'S MEN with Andy Irvine and Johnny Moynihan and also wrote songs which have been recorded by the DUBLINERS,CHRISTY MOORE,ARDVARNA and TWO TIME POLKA.
I've spent a vagabond's life(very happily!) and am now enjoying my cottage in the mountains.
a few beliefs;god is only what we have'nt discovered yet
no man should be subject to the will of another
treat every man and woman as you yourself wish to be treated
try to live up to the above...... |

Here in Connemara |
Thought I'd let you know a little about where I live...it's a place called Connemara,on the west coast of Ireland.So quiet here that sometimes you could hear a bird walk,although it's more often a farmer roaring at his dog as he herds his sheep.A landscape of lakes and mountains-my nearest neighbour is a half mile away.I live and paint in a small cottage and watch the mountains grow...foxes and hares flourish here,I've seen red deer,badgers and the occasional otter chasing the brown trout up the streams...a while back a golden eagle quartered the valley,a visitor from county Donegal,where they've been re-introduced.
The shop is a 4-mile bike ride from the cottage,I trip down there now and again to drink guinness and listen to the farmers chat.
Autumn is here now,cool,clearer weather...warm colours until winter with her wind and rain grabs us.
Time to get back to the painting. |
