Jinx has been at the periphery of the underground Irish music scene for quite a while and describes his music as outsider punk folk electro singing about his daily a to z, work, his headwrecks, the local oddballs, the drama and the characters of Dundalk border existence and beyond. He has toured with the likes of The Fall, John Cooper Clarke and supported folk legend Christy Moore.
"Except in the crucial sense that he understands class, Lennon is not a protest singer. The rich horn in for a few lines, but mostly Lennon means to warn the local good guys about the bad guys waiting to f**k them up" - Bob Christgau, Rolling Stone / Village Voice
"I think he's Ireland's Dylan Thomas" - Enda Walsh, Playwright "Disco Pigs"
