Story

I'm joining Techs Got Talent because I believe it is a really good way to spread awareness about homelessness in Ireland and specifically in Galway. I feel that these events aren't just fundraisers for the Simon charity, they also shine a light on the fact that we live in a society that is still struggling to address deepening inequality and increasing homelessness. I hope this event doesn't just address the symptoms of structural inequality but also shows that we have a lot of work to do as a nation to address the root causes of these symptoms.

As for myself; I work as a software developer by day but I play music each week in traditional Irish music sessions. I have also spent some time as a session vocalist, and have worked with some live bands as a vocalist in the UK and Ireland. I include some photos in my profile from my live appearances at concerts in the UK.

About the charity

Galway Simon was set up in 1979 by volunteers who refused to accept homelessness on the streets of Galway. With the support of the wider community, we have grown, learned and adapted over the years to become a leading provider of homeless and homelessness prevention services in the region.
