A bit about Liam Byrne......
Liam J. Byrne, (the J is for Jesus !), was born on
July 9th 1973
. The youngest of three, I followed my sisters, Elizabeth & Caroline into the world. We lived on a farm near the
village
of
Ballygarrett
in Co. Wexford.
My first memory of performing is when I was five or six and took to the stage at the Senior Citizens weekly get-together to sing a song that had something to do with a rabit! Since then i have never looked back, but the rabit got the mixer and passed on !
During the summer of 1991 I met a local musician who promised to teach me a few chords on guitar. The following year I played my first gig in Boggans Bar, Co. Wexford. My fee was £15 plus sandwiches. That musician was a man called Rob Weldon. He and I became great friends since then and are often seen in the local Public Houses for what we call "Busines Lunches" !
Being a solo musician I found myself performing a lot of songs by made famous by another great influence on me, Christy Moore. His style of singing, playing, and the humour of his shows appealed to me and in 2000 I began to tour
Ireland
performing my "Ordinary Man, A tribute to Christy Moore"
