tradition and irreverence, London and Ireland, groove and grace. Known for previous work with TEYR, The
Rad Orchestra and Jez Hellard & The Djukella Orchestra, his debut solo album CHEWING THE FAT was released
in February 2018 to wide acclaim. Described as “magnificent” by FolkRadioUK, the record contained
a wealth of new and old material that weaved together three generations of his own Irish family.
The new album CHEWING THE FAT blends folk tunes, songs, spoken word and field recordings in an ode to
roots and identity. It’s a unique sonic world that both showcases his instrumental skill, compositional prowess
and his broad talent for collaboration. The nationwide album launch tour was kicked off in London with a
sell-out 11-piece show at the Union Chapel.
CHEWING THE FAT features an award winning host of guests including singers J. Eoin, Seamus Gavin and
Jez Hellard, accordionist Tommie Black-Roff, bouzouki and bodhrán player Tad Sargent, flautist Orlaith
McAuliffe, piper Dominic Henderson, guitarist Adrian Lever and banjoist Hugh O’Niell. This unique gathering
of some of the UK and Ireland’s finest folk musicians presents a rare joining-of-dots between innumerable
bands from previous decades.
