mini review
It's fair to say that this might not appeal to a younger audience but Con has a definite talent that has seen him perform regularly to large audiences across the region. He's also performed numerous times on BBC Radio Suffolk so he's doing something right.

Con was born in Ireland and cut his teeth in the world of music on the Dublin pub and bar scene.

Originally in a couple of covers bands, Con then began to slip original material into their sets if he thought 'the audience were open enough to listen or too pissed to notice'.

Con says his music is best described as 'contemporary acoustic-rock' and there are hints of REM, Crowded House and the Levellers to the style with a Paul Young quality to parts of the vocal.

He moved to the UK in the late 80s and made his way to Suffolk where he's established himself as a regular performer on the local music scene.

What do you think of Con's musical efforts?
