He has also played twice at 'The Marbella Irish Festival', and many big concerts and venues in the UK in London, Brighton, Bath and Gibraltar, Argentina and also along the Costa del Sol, and the South of Spain.
He has worked with such artists/producers as Boy George (London), Martin Glover (London), Mikki Nilsen (Malaga), Bryan Wells (Malaga), Animal Farm Label (London) and True Tone Studios (Crawley).
