Rugadh i Machaire Fíolta, Condae Dhoire mé i 1972, ach ní
raibh an scéal leath chomh simplí ina dhiaidh sin. Sna
seachtóidí tógadh sa Nua Shéalainn mé mar go raibh post ag
m'athair thíos ansin. Thángamar ar ais go hÉirinn i 1980,
ochtar sa teaghlach againn, agus faoi dheireadh lonnaíomar i
Rinn Mhic Ghiolla Rua sa Tuaisceart, taobh leis an teorainn. Níl ord nó eagar ar
an mhéid Gaeilge ata ar fail ar an suíomh seo. Saolaíodh an suíomh as a raibh ar siúl agam
i mBéarla, ach déanfaidh mé iarracht anois is arís níos mó Gaeilge a chuir ar fáil daoibh.
Born in 1972, I come from Warrenpoint, County Down, in Northern Ireland. I have a fairly wide range of interests,
most of which I can thankfully indulge in my position as Lecturer of Contemporary Folk Culture at the University of Ulster's
Magee campus in Derry/Londonderry. As far as disciplines go,
I currently consider myself primarily a Social Ecologist, although I have also worn the hats of Celtic Studies, Spanish, Irish Studies,
Ethnomusicology, Anthropology, Sociology, and Cultural Policy and Management. Themes of interest to me include gentleness;
the oppressive dimensions of music and copyright legislation; dynamics of personal, social, and political 'enclosure';
helpful pedagogy; and conflict transformation. I hope I'm a half-decent son, brother, uncle, and friend, and I dabble in various
music- and song-related activities.
