Set sail from his native town of Limerick, back in the bad old days, when you could nearly sell your job on the open market. Armed with guitar the green fields of France awaited. The busking became full time work for many years and brought him the length and breath of Europe. Then living in Munich for two years he recorded his first E.P. This led to parts in a German T.V. documentary and many appearances on the very healthy folk scene at the time. The homeland was calling him back and he knew that he would have to return to Limerick.
Peter then set up the O'Malley's who at that time were playing a mix of country and Irish. It was a three piece band and they recorded a four song (E.P.) and did one or two shows on R.T.E. Then the band got bigger and did tours of Germany (in a red V.W. Van, God Bless it). The O'Malley's went on to play all the main venues around Ireland, released two records and Videos. Did every TV. show, The Late Late, Pat Kenny, Sunday night at the Olympia, Brendan Grace Show, Shay Healy's Nighthawks weekly show. Then they toured England, Russia and the States.
Peter went solo doing the club circuit. In 1990 he brought out a comedy single Poitin which opened the world of comedy to him. Also at this time he started doing gigs with James Hanley and he brought out his first CD called "Beyond the Pale" in 1993 on Round Tower Music. He toured this album across Europe, from the North to the South, West to East. Peter did some recording in Denmark in the Medley Studio and toured with comedian Pat Shortt.
His next album, Till The Morning Gets Late was released in 2004. Other singles and EPs followed including Night Time In Montreal EP in 2010, If Jesus Had A Notion single in 2015 and Mr.Merlot single in 2024.
