about me

I am a keen writer of poems, plays, songs and recently my first book. I'm also a musician/singer playing mostly Irish trad music on guitar and banjo. I love quizzes, word games and crosswords. Recently I have become fluent in my native Irish language which has been a revelation. I am married to Catherine and we have one daughter, Katie and a brand new beautiful son, Tóla.

my books

Tadhg and the Pockel

Michael Sands

Sex, Drugs n diddleedee! The chase is on. Ireland's beautiful musical culture in the hands of ejits. The end is nigh...my arse!


Tadhg has a dad. He didn't know until this morning just who he was. Tadhg has money waiting. He didn't know until this morning just where or how much. Tadhg has a hangover. Funnily enough, he still doesn't know how much he drank or how he got here. This is the book the world of Irish traditional music has been waiting for. No holds barred, no half measures, no tunes left unplayed. Follow Tadhg, Bunz, Ogie, O'Donnell, O'Malaigh and of course the Pockel on a hair raising, musically mind bending, liver quivering dash through Ireland's greatest traditional music pubs from Ballycastle to Cork. Can Tadhg find the answers? Can he find out why his mother did it? Can he find his father? The engine has started and there's a pint waiting just round the next bend in the road. Get on board for the journey and session of a life time.
