Working with and today in . The vibe is great! Roll on Race Week!!!

As the dust begins to settle after a very memorable and enjoyable weekend at A.I.M.S. There is a great buzz in the camp Marian Choral Society Tuam. A massive congratulations to all involved in Sister Act and a very special year ahead! To the cast, crew and committee of ‘22 , huge congratulations 🍾 To work alongside Shane Ó Feargháil is a great privilege, and his Midas touch creates such magic! ‘A new Argentina’ here we come!

We did it!!! The Marian Choral Society Tuam - MCS have the best chorus in the country. As Director of this wonderfully talented society, I am so proud ❤️🎭🎭 Congratulations to all involved in Sister Act. A special group who were magic.

Another goal achieved! This was an enriching experience as well as a diploma received. A busman’s holiday if you like. I loved every minute of our Wednesday nights ❤️. So important to live in the present and work towards a life worth living. You can’t change the past, you can’t control the future, but you can influence the present.

Tina Turner RIP

My happy place 🎧Caught in deep conversation at an outside broadcast recently. The importance of connectivity, contribution and listening cannot be emphasized enough. Being a good listener makes you a better contributor. Thanks for the photo 👍

One of the best and most relatable programs RTÉ One has produced. It cannot be emphasized enough, the importance of sharing feelings and anxieties. Vulnerable is not a weakness. Turn it on its head and use it to your advantage, and positivity influence others with your story. There is a vulnerability in us all. Well done to the magnificent 7, Davy, mentors and crew. Young people are fantastic. They inspire and need to be inspired. I hope it inspires many.

What a night in the Ard Ri House Tuam! A hugely successful Dancing with the Star! Congratulations to Marian Choral Society Tuam - MCS and Tuam Stars GAA! It was a pleasure to MC such a great night. The dancers and audience were electric. Choreography was brilliant Jay Molyneux. Well done to a wonderful committee, lighting, sound and livestream technicians. Amazing night!

Apart from being a gentleman, his honesty, knowledge and storytelling is so entertaining and refreshing. From school to cattle dealing and buckets to a leading player in the international manufacturing sector. He experienced it all. Thanks John for the hospitality and your time 👍

Hi everyone!
HERE IT IS!! Episode 1.
Just before you click on the link, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who is willing to share their stories.

I hope to be a better listener and to give a strong message in each individual story. Damien Quinn joins me on my first episode. A great guy with an amazing story. Have a listen..... never give up.
