Tony started writing lyrics while still at school in the seventies and, having taken up bass guitar, played with many local bands including Face To Face, Rocky DeValera & The Gravediggers, Maggies Farm and Good Intentions. The eighties also saw Tony working as a studio sound engineer and serving as a council member of the Irish Association of Songwriters & Composers, also editing the regular IASC newsletter.
Retiring from professional involvement in the music industry in 1988 Tony got actively involved again in 2009 with the release of remastered recordings from Face To Face and Good Intentions. Good Intentions and also blues rock band Maggies Farm came together again to record and release new material in 2010/2011. Collaboration with fellow Maggies Farm band member Joe Wanman McGuinness saw two CD albums being written and released in 2011/2012 under the band name Wanman & Floyd (Light Side Of The Dark & Dark Side Of The Night ).

Other projects in 2013 included the Musicians Together Darkey Kelly’s promotional album for the gathering, the Tornado 13 disaster relief benefit album and a major collaborative writing project which saw the release of ‘Black’ by Jed McConkey in May 2013.
2014 saw the new solo CD ‘2014 The Alien Has Landed’ plus the launch of a new band Acoustic Earth. 2015 brought ‘Outside’ and a live Tony & Rhiannah CD. 2016 saw Tony concentrating on writing new material which culminated in the release of the critically acclaimed album ‘Wheels Of The world’ in March 2017.
