It's been quite a journey since the young aspiring musician from Belfast penned what is regarded as his signature tune, Captured. Each year along the way has been an exciting and progressive step as an artist and 2009 is no exception. In fact it is a milestone 20 years in the music business! This is a year of celebration for a spectacular career and will swing into action on the first leg of "The First Twenty Years Tour".
