There is another side to Colm. He is a highly accomplished songwriter and film composer, as well as a skilled interpreter of songs from a wide variety of musical genres. Through the 70s, he had numerous pop hits in his native Ireland, often with his own compositions.

000 residents and a fair number of them had Celtic roots. The winters were long and hard and we were a long way from any major city. So we made our own fun. Before long I was playing the various coffee houses and small festivals throughout the interior until one day I discovered that music had completely taken over. In 1989, with a very promising music career ahead of me, I simply stopped taking bookings altogether in order to devote more time to my family. It would be another five years before I started up again. That's the difference, I suppose, between myself and those who have climbed to the top. It's a choice that I will never regret however. There's a clever little line in a song that John Denver sung 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy' that goes 'Still I fiddle when I can, Work when I should' and that says something to me. I play when I can and although it's a precious pastime, there are other things to be done. I've squeezed a number of years in there where I played full time, travelled a whole lot and met and played for many, many, fine people. I look at my sons, grown now, and I'm glad of the time we had when they were young. When they were old enough. I took to the road again. On many occasions one or both would show up at one of my gigs , their friends in tow! I always get a thrill out of that.
