Terry Boyle, from Dublin, Ireland, arrived in Canada in 1989 after a successful six- year stint playing music in Boston, New York, Vermont and Austin TX.

With numerous TV and radio appearances in Ireland, touring in Europe as part of a group, and a solo album of traditional Irish folksongs, he released “Terry Boyle”, an album of original songs in 1998. “Life’s Too Short”, another CD of original songs, was released in November 2018. His most recent release, “Cast a Cold Eye”, was released July 2025 and is available on most music platforms. Terry is a regular performer at folk clubs and other venues on Vancouver Island including Butchart Gardens.

Terry’s songs, stories and good humour, have endeared him to audiences far and wide. With a vast repertoire of Celtic songs, some teary, some cheery, some sing-along and some from the archives, Terry has a song or story for almost every occasion.

As a songwriter, Terry’s style is varied, evolving and always entertaining. His songs are both autobiographical and descriptive of the complexities and quirks of modern life encompassing sadness, joy and craziness.

Terry lives in Ladysmith, BC.
