Reflections on a life
Bobby was born in Cork City and moved in 1970 to St. John's, Newfoundland, where for years he led The Sons of Erin. (There is still a lot of material on YouTube.) He has performed with The Irish Rovers and many others. He is a multi-instrumentalist who plays Fiddle, Violin, Mandolin, Whistle, bodhran, bones and whatever he can lay his hands on. Fans of Irish and Irish-Newfoundland music will no doubt recognize his name from his career as an Irish musician, and as a longtime member of the Sons of Erin, with whom he played on 15 albums. He spent some of the COVID lockdown in Toronto and has returned to Jamaica where he now lives.
