About me
Acting and music are my absolute passions. I appeared as lead in two productions at University while studying for my English Literature degree. On return to Manchester I enrolled at The Actors Lab and appeared in Actors Lab showcase Hindsight which was directed by Sue Jenkins at The Lowry. I then moved to Paris and studied at the Cours Florent. Before University I was in an Irish music band for many years and we were honoured to have been able to share the stage with legends such as Mike McGoldrick, Steve Cooney and Sharon Shannon. I am now back in Manchester and looking for as many opportunities and as much experience as possible.Skills
