The Musician

For over 30 years Jim has worked as a professional musician, performing throughout the UK and Europe with numerous appearances on Radio & TV. Much of his work up until his retirement from touring, has been in Scandinavia, particularly Denmark and Norway, where he built up a large following with his unique style and delivery.

Having started out as a folk-musician on the Folk club scene in the UK, Jim started to make a name for himself, playing traditional and contemporary Irish Music around the UK. He became a regular performer at festivals and music venues over the years, and at one time was described by the Irish Post, as "one of the most sought-after acts on the Irish Music Circuit.

In 1994 he was invited to perform in Norway, with his band Madra Rua, and thus began a long relationship with Scandinavian audiences. For a number of years, Jim would spend nearly half of the year touring venues in Denmark and Norway.

A prolific song-writer, as well as a performing musician, Jim has recorded over a dozen CDs during his career.

In the last couple of years Jim has been turning his musical skills to working on CDs of Mantras, Relaxation and Meditation/Spiritual Music and Sound Healing.

His latest recording is a double CD, Namaste. A live recording of a Kirtan session which was released in April 2018. All the profits from this recording go to support the work of Skanda Vale Hospice.
