Influences
Songwriters like Dylan and Leonard Cohen and any great songwriters in any genre are my influences. I love blues, good country music and any great songwriting from any era. Nina Simone, Ray Charles and many many others including people like Willy Mason and from here in northern Ireland, people such as Anthony Toner. If you listen to Andrew McClean on Radio Foyle you'll find a lot of the kind of music I like. Plus I love classic pop.
