I've lived in Dublin city centre and suburbs all my life, and the history of Dublin and it's stories are endlessly surprising, even to someone who lives here. Since I've started with ToursByLocals I've found it to be a lot of fun, and very rewarding to see visitors really engage with the real Dublin! These are the streets of James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Bono, Sinead O'Connor, Arthur Guinness., (and some baddies too, like Henry the Eighth and a couple of Cromwells..) . . I take little detours when asked (which is a LOT), and I like to make sure that my friends who book onto my tours have the best of times! As a professional musician and producer I've also got some unusual insights into some of the secrets of this world, with the ocassional behind the scenes tale or two. I also have a very special relationship with Dublin's Ha'Penny Bridge, as I personally brokered the deal to make Fender Guitars in honour of Gary Moore and Phil Lynott from the bridge itself! Dublin is an old city, but it's not a museum, it's also a brand new city - this is the same throughout all of Ireland - and I enjoy showing visitors how these worlds live side by side, so you can have fun while being amazed at the same time!

There are so many exciting magical locations and musical stories in this amazing city, and I've been right at the heart of this world for years, having played in almost every venue, released platinum albums, and toured extensively. Starting with a drive through the East quarter, I will bring you on a journey that includes U2 and The Cranberries as well as countless other artists that have graced this city's boards. We'll visit venues and studios, the East Quarter, the Old Town and Indy City - and even a famous bridge that's being turned into a guitar! I've worked with many of the best known musicians and producers on earth (I've discovered several), and I always manage to come away with a funny anecdote, so don't be afraid to ask!
