“The album has been 11 years in the making and it’s dedicated to my son Adam who we sadly lost six years ago,” said John. Adam died in a road accident in Cork city back in 2o10 at the age of 22.
“The album features a song called Memory Of You (Adam’s Song) which I wrote for him. It also includes, ‘Tell me what’s on your mind’ which made the final of the Christie Hennessy song contest two years ago and ‘Refugee’, the first video from the album which has received a lot of interest on YouTube,” said John.
It should be a great night of music and all are welcome to the launch. Check out John’s video for Refugee below…
