The events of September 11th had a profound effect on all the Fire Fighters in Northern Ireland who have staged many events to raise funds for their comrades in New York.  "The New York Fire Brigade Appeal Fund" has been set up and Brian hopes to add a substantial amount to the fund by re-releasing a cd single this summer.  Permission to record "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" originally recorded by The Hollies,  has been granted by Judith Scott of Jenny Music and Mr. Iqbal at IQ Music Ltd., and Chelsea Records who have donated their percentage of any royalties raised for this charity.  

Many others have given their time, services and expertise free of charge to keep production costs to a minimum.  These include Ronan Doherty (arranging & recording), Robin Robins (of the Silver Bullet Band) at Mid Atlantic Digital (mastering & recording), James Devlin (artwork for cover\cd), Outlet Records (distribution).  Financial support was provided by Anthony at John Fahy & Co. Solicitors, Crescent Link Fire Station Sports & Welfare Club and Kate at First Class Web Design.

Brian is also currently working on a new CD which will contain 10 - 12 tracks.  All original material self penned or co-written with other talented Irish writers.  These tracks cover a wide variety of musical styles.  This project should be completed by the end of 2008.  Check this site for progress updates.
