Born and raised in Ireland to the sounds of Dixieland jazz, I’ve been playing drums since childhood. Currently, I’m busy playing with Glen Hansard, the Oscar-winning Swell Season and The Frames, amongst others. I’ve toured and recorded with a large variety of artists including Snow Patrol, Therapy? and Dolores O’Riordan.
