  • The Making of Sugar Island
    Jan 20 2025

    The 4 of Us have always been storytellers, and our latest album Crescent Nights is the latest chapter in a musical journey that began in the heart of Northern Ireland.

    Today we delve into Sugar Island, our autobiographical album exploring our early lives in the border town of Newry during turbulent times. Discover how fatherhood, Nashville, and family memories shaped this musical journey of childhood, checkpoints, and first loves. I also talk about how I first found my voice as a singer and how some of the family weren’t impressed.

    Joining me is my good friend, Greg Canty, host of the WinHappy podcast.

  • The Making of Walk With Me
    Dec 3 2024

    As The 4 Of Us release our latest album, Crescent Nights, we reflect on the records that have shaped our journey. In this episode, I’m joined by my co-host, Greg Canty of the WinHappy podcast, to discuss my solo project, Walk With Me.

    Our story begins with an invitation to Music City, USA. Celebrated songwriter Sharon Vaughn opens the doors to Nashville’s Music Row, and I return home with a bunch of stripped-back songs in search of a home. It soon turns into a family affair. One track resonates so deeply with my dad that he decides to record his own version in the studio!! My brother Paul helps out along with Declan and Enda, and guitarists Henry McCullough and Kieran Goss lend their expertise. Join us as we recount the transatlantic journey behind my album, Walk With Me.
