The country music favourite opens up about why he doesn't use social media, overcoming knock-backs in his career and why the scene is better than ever at the moment
The country music favourite made a change in personnel last year, bringing in Bryan Buckley to manage him after a decade with Paul Claffey, and he has a full diary of concerts, festivals and church performances ahead.
Michael told RSVP Country: "I’m still in touch with Paul, who managed me for 10 years, and I do all of his trips overseas. I knew Bryan for a long time, he was running various venues that we perform in. Is it the same as it was pre-2020 or does he see a change? "I think the crowds are bigger, which is surprising. Maybe there aren’t as many venues though.
"Social media, Instagram and TikTok have also really helped. You can play at a dance now and everyone can see it two seconds after you finish."He said: "I’m not on social media myself. I never was. I’ve got accounts for my business and my team looks after that. The singer said: "A lot of the same people come out night after night to see us. If I was playing in Donegal tonight and Galway tomorrow night, a percentage of people could be at both shows.
