Story

Hi my name is conor mcgowan im a chef by trade but have been playing music since I was a kid, I'm 47 years old and have only in the last two years built my own home studio and can now after soo many years of writing songs "in my head" I can now make them come alive. I have 3 amazing kids all boys and the last 4 years my marriage broke down and I left my family home which was out of my control, it was the hardest four years of my life, I became very depressed and I dropped out of society and lost faith in people. My music brought me back and now I write songs about my experience and it has helped me through a very bad part of my life. My 3 boys help me and critique my songs before I put them out which is soo much fun to do with them. I hope you enjoy my songs love and respect conor mcgowan
