“He is a consummate stage performer as well as a songwriter, adding colour to his songs by weaving stories about Cork characters, maritime exploits and daily life into his act. His singing style is truly unique—nobody hearing Jimmy could possibly mistake him for anyone else.” (Mick Moloney)

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

What should we speak of,
When we are as old as you? when we shall hear
The rain and wind beat dark December, how,
In this our pinching cave, shall we discourse
The freezing hours away?

—Wm. Shakespeare, Cymbeline
