Mickey’s music is deeply rooted in Irish tradition, yet it carries a modern, personal resonance. His songs tell stories of home, heritage, resilience, and love—often drawn from his own life experiences.Mickey’s path has taken him from the fields of Ulster to the heart of New York’s Irish-American community—where his voice, both literal and lyrical, continues to inspire.
Mickey's talent for penning songs, which in some way or another have shaped his life and which have captured the hearts of many in his live performances, has been well documented in songs such as 'The Brantry Boy', 'My Coalisland Girl', 'The Holylands Belfast' and 'Kilkeel Fishermen'.
