bring the song to life, Andy enlisted the help of legendary performer Mick
Flavin to add his vocals to the track. They were joined by one of
Irish Country Music's upcoming talents, Johnny Brady, to create
something that is fresh, original and unique.

is currently celebrating the success of his recent venture into chartering his
own cruise-ship, 'The Cruise of Irish Stars' which this year
featured Mike Denver, Derek Ryan, Ronan Tynan and over 50
Irish Musicians. He plans to repeat the venture in 2017, and also hopes to
return on tour to Ireland later this year. He also played to sell out audiences
on a hugely successful US tour with Phil Coulter and Geraldine
Brannigan in March this year.
