Holmes was born and raised in Northern Ireland.In his early 40’s he became the lead singer for the very successful Celtic band, Brean Derg Muc. He also began writing and took to the stage as a spoken word artist. Before long he was touring the UK, Canada and the USA. He has won numerous awards including the Stan Rogers Golden Quill and his work has been set to music and performed by more than 40 artists. Recently one of his pieces was buried in a one-hundred-year time capsule in Arran, Scotland where Holmes plans to be when it’s opened.
