Biography
Written by Robin Turner   

I am currently living in Castlecove, South Kerry, where I work as a musician. I play music in the local bars, such as O ‘Carrolls Cove Beach Bar in Castlecove , the Lobster Bar in Waterville , the Anchor Bar in Caherciveen and also further a field in Limerick, Cork, Clare and Galway.

For the last number of years I have been performing a tribute to Christy Moore, which involves a two hour show of mostly songs which were either written or recorded by Christy, I still do this show, but I also do another which includes music from a wide variety of artists, like Bob Dylan, Paul Brady, Jimmy Mcarthy and so on.

I have recently been doing some playing with local musicians Wally Desmond and Peter Sherborne. We have recorded some songs and tunes which can be heard in the download section of this site along with some of my solo recordings, we plan on doing some gigs together later this year. Wally plays the uillean pipes and low whistles and Peter plays the guitar.

If you would like to come and see me at one of my gigs please check out the gig guide section for information on the dates and venues.

Robin.
