Early career

[edit]

Quinn enjoyed some brief success with his local band The Bad Pennies. After winning several competitions[2], gaining national attention[3], and touring extensively around Ireland and UK, the band decided to slow things down and Quinn began to focus on his guitar playing. He has gained extensive popularity on the internet for his unique take on songs along with his own arrangements which he has shared with his fans.
