His self-penned songs on everything from the environment to reflections on his upbringing in Northern Ireland have a universal appeal. His stories, composed and told in a traditional style, and always set in the Glens of Antrim, are ever popular with audiences. His storytelling repertoire also includes many traditional Irish and Scottish folk tales. 		Virtual Library 11/02/2021 03:00 PM 11/02/2021 04:30 PM
