Grand Social December 23rd, Today Show & More!!!

Well hello all my lovely friends,

I am so so sorry for my extremely late blog post. Things have been so hectic of late I’m finding it difficult to keep up with myself, but I’m back now 🙂

So the last I spoke with you, John & I were just about to fly out to Slovakia to play some shows. Well we only had the most wonderful time playing, meeting up with old friends and making some new. We’re so excited about returning in 2016 for our European tour. Check out some of the photos below.

I was so honoured to meet this amazing man in Piestany Slovakia. The wonderful photographer Yaro M kup?o. He came to my gig & even signed his amazing book for me

When we arrived back, Clive Barnes & I played the beautiful Courthouse Tinahely Co Wicklow and had a fantastic night. Then it was onto Cork to see all our friends at RTE1’s Today Show where we performed ‘White Christmas’. It really helped put us in the Christmas Spirit. We also recorded a surprise performance of my latest single ‘You’re Not Here’ which will air on a future show. Check out a couple of photos below.

Next up was the sold out charity concert at the stunning Black Abbey Church with the amazing Jack L. It was such a pleasure to perform with Jack, what a voice!!!

Such a fab night last night playing with these legends!!!! #christmas #charity #concert

Finishing off a cracking week we played at the home of world famous wood turner Glenn Lucas and what an absolute pleasure that was. We hung out with Glenn, his beautiful wife Cornelia, their children and Cornelia’s parents for the afternoon before playing the gig and it was just wonderful!!!

Such an amazing night tonight with Cornelia, Glen & their wonderful family & friends for our final house concert of 2015

Had the most wonderful afternoon/evening yesterday playing at the stunning home of Glen Lucas & his wife Cornelia. It was an honour. Here's a pic taken by the wonderful Glen... — Had the most wonderful afternoon/evening yesterday playing at the stunning home of Glen Lucas & his wife Cornelia. It was an honor.
