The album is a smooth blend of original works and Mickey’s unique arrangements of jazz, pop and Irish traditional standards and was produced by the legendary Tom Newman, best known for his work on Tubular Bells.

His first solo CD Turais (Irish for Journeys) was extremely well received and charted his travels both in music and in life.

You can get copies of the CD from Mickey who regularly plays venues in Newry including the Sugar Supper Club.
