There’s something special about the Lily Sessions, a songwriter's night that happens every month in the upstairs room of Jones' Bar in Clane, Co. Kildare. Run by three sound lads - John, Stephen and Josh - the night has become a sort of home for songwriters to share their craft to a friendly, listening audience.
I’ve had the pleasure of playing at the Lily Sessions a few times now. Recently, I had the incredible experience of sharing the stage with my fifteen year old son Cayden. He carries the same passion for music that I do, bringing his own voice and original songs to the stage. It feels like a passing of the torch in a way, but also like we were sharing the fire together. I'm incredibly proud of him and it's a joy to watch him grow and develop as a songwriter and musician.
