Story

My dad was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in September 2019. He passed away two months later.

During the first summer of COVID-19, I started livestreaming covers and writing them in a songbook. To remember my Dad, Frank, I decided to try play through the whole songbook.

On September 19th 2020 I played 13hrs worth of songs and we raised €4,053 for charity.

This year, on Saturday the 25th September, I'm putting on another streaming event. This time we'll aim for quality over quantity, but I'll still do a good six hours of acoustic covers.

www.songsforfrank.ie will have videos and more info.
