Welcome to Ireland With Michael
I’m Michael.
I grew up in Wexford, a small coastal town in the southeast of Ireland. It’s called the Opera Capital of Ireland, which sounds impressive, but really just means that people sang everywhere. They sang at home, in pubs, and at the Opera House down the road. I joined in early and never stopped.
Somehow, that turned into a life in music. I’ve spent years on stages and on the road, and eventually back home again, sharing Ireland the only way I know how. I do this through music, conversation, and by taking the long way around whenever I can. Ireland With Michael grew from that instinct.
The television series, the journeys, and now this space all come from the same desire: to slow things down, listen carefully, and let Ireland reveal itself in its own time. This blog is a place for stories, reflections, travel notes, and some music now and then. There’s no rush here and no agenda. Just Ireland, as I’ve come to know it.
