In summer 07 I went on a fantastic tour of Ireland and Scotland. When in Ireland I was given the opportunity of recording “Stars Are Made For The Sky” with Moya Brennan who was the lead singer for the Grammy award winning group Clannad. There was also a concert in the local Abbey which had RTE the national television station present. The C.D “Sanctuary” will be released in January 08.

1st: Recording with Moya Brennan from Clannad

2nd: At the Oxygen Festival walking towards the beer tent and bumping into a guy called Patrick I first met at a hostel in Sydney 3 years ago.

3rd: At the Kings Head in Galway bumping into an Aussie guy that I first met at The Cell hostel in Slovenia 2 years ago.

4th: At a place called Glendalough just south of Dublin I was with my guitar in the smoking area of a local pub and a guy said there is a musician that lives nearby…his name is Ciaran Brennan from Clannad!!!………I ended up back at his house drinking till 4am.

5th: My last night in Ireland I went to a random restaurant in Dublin and saw a guy that looked just like the guy I saw at the Oxygen Festival. After staring for 15 minutes I decided to ask him if he had a brother called Patrick “Yes…..how do you know my brother……” he also said “Oh you’re a musician…my best friend is a musician…….he plays keyboard for Moya Brennan from Clannad”
