Fahy, a Belmullet, Co Mayo native, grew up on a farm and is currently a full-time music and Irish teacher in a secondary school.

Speaking to That’s Farming editor, Catherina Cunnane previously, he stated:

“I was delighted to have been chosen by the fantastic David James to be one of his contestants in this year’s series.”

“A massive goal of mine this year is to break into the Irish country scene here in Ireland, so hopefully, Glór Tíre will help me with that.”

“It takes hard work and dedication to make it onto the scene, so I aspire to work as hard as I can over the next few years to hopefully make my dream a reality.”
