The stories are a rich mix of different personal encounters with a wide eclectic mix of people from different walks of life such as alcoholics, drug addicts, entrepeneurs, refugees, and travellers who Brendan has met and become friends with along his twisting and varied path of life.
The songs penned by Brendan, who is a comprehensive singer song writer, explore multiple genres and moods. Singing always from the heart and soul, his lyrics are derived from a fluid lifestyle of rock and roll, travelling the world and towards the light. A staunch pacifist, anticapitalist and drawn to the mystic and magic that is life and love.
The songs provide sweet, soft tones for the joys and anguishes of heart. From lively blues, stories of love and melancholy or upbeat tracks for dancing and foot tapping, Shine continues the legacy and tradition of Irish poets and troubadours commenting on injustice.

With joint Irish and British nationality, Brendan surpasses base nationalistic leanings to be a world citizen without frontiers living as a free spirit outside the concrete jungle. Madchester, reggae, Indian Classical, Rhythm & blues, Irish folk, Rock n Roll have all influenced Shine to compose his sound.Empathy with Rastafarians, Buddhists, Hindus within the Shiva Matrix, Nomads, Arabic Persians, Asian cultures, immigrants, refugees, Celts & outcasts. Rock and Roll has saved his soul.
