IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BECOME WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN !
Conor Sheehan..Limerick's award winning songwriter was inspired and encouraged by a 19th century English writer's determination never to give up trying, so he did'nt give up !
Conor spent all his working life in a very demanding career with an International Aviation company. The pressure of his job and his committment to his wife and family did'nt leave him very much time for the other love of his life,music and songwriting ,but he always hoped the day would come when he could concentrate fully on his passion for music.
Eventually the time came and he got the chance.."I was always doing a bit of songwriting but I think that I wrote my best songs after I was able to give up my job and spend more time doing what I love best.
Last year I found myself on an airplane ,going to Boston as one of 5 finalists in the Boston Folk Festival,out of 350 entrants.A few days later I was back on the airplane ,going home as the winner of the contest.That win was a long time coming and all the sweeter for it.
I don't think I'll ever stop songwrting, at least I hope not. It gives me great satisfaction and helps to make some sense of the world for me. I want to sincerely thank all the Guys in Limerick Songwriters for giving people like me me,in fact everyone and anyone the chance to express themselves in a very supportive environment.Itmakes all the difference !

This weeks special guest is singer songwriter Batt O'Connor.
Batt O’Connor- a singer and muscian from Gleann Na nGealt, a valley in the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry, in the South West of Ireland. Batt brought his bouzuki, an instrument with roots in Greece that was formatted to play Irish music. The look and sound of it reminded me of a cross between an acoustic guitar and a banjo.
