“I couldn't play two notes, but the first song I learned was Amazing Grace and it started to go well from there.”
The CD is available by contacting Eunan or from the school and he hopes to have it on sale from some local shops.
The songs featured are all traditional Irish tunes with Eunan, an Irish history buff. a big fan of the genre.
“It's something I'm very passionate about; I'm big into history, especially Irish history.”
