Album of the Week – Joe McMahon ‘When Adam Was A Boy’

Written by celtic music radio on April 26, 2025

It’s no exaggeration to say that singer/songwriter, Joe McMahon knows how to tug at the heart strings and give you hope for a world that has long since passed.

His writing touches on areas of common experience from the wistful, romantic and humorous to those reflecting on more difficult aspects of the daily grind.

Proud of his Clydeside roots, Joe draws inspiration from life’s great adventure, characters, events and personal experiences that have left a lasting impact.

When Adam Was a Boy is his second album and he is joined by top quality musicians like Angus Lyon and Anna Massie from Blazin’ Fiddles alongside some heavyweight contemporaries on the song-writing front who include James Grant, Findlay Napier, Willie Campbell and Susy Wall.

Through his superb, rich and thoughtful music, Joe is proof that it is never too late to follow your dreams.

He will be talking with Hugh Taylor on the Album of the Week Show today at midday.
