Hi There. My name is William Barnard or better known to my friend's in the UK as 'Billy from Ireland'

I live near to Moy in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland with my lovely wife Lila.

I am an Enthusiastic Yamaha Keyboard player with a Tyros 2 Keyboard. I have been playing for most of my life and played for 25 years playing the Saxophone with my Swing Band called ''The Skyliners'' in Northern Ireland and have performed on Organ's and Accordians also. I am a Member of a Yamaha Enthusiast's Website and Forum known as Yamaha Keyboard Kapers where I have some very good friends...

Above is a picture of my lovely wife of more that 50 years, Lila and your's truly!

Wedded Bliss 

AN OLD IRISH WEDDING BLESSING

MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND BLESS YOU
MAY YOU SEE YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN
MAY YOU BE POOR IN MISFORTUNE, RICH IN BLESSINGS
MAY YOU KNOW NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD
MAY YOU LIVE AS LONG AS YOU WANT
AND NEVER WANT AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.


Our Golden Wedding Anniversary 

"The Irish Blessing"
MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

MAY GOD GRANT YOU MANY YEARS TO LIVE,
FOR SURE HE MUST BE KNOWING
THE EARTH HAS ANGELS ALL TOO FEW
AND HEAVEN IS OVERFLOWING
MAY YOU BE IN HEAVEN HALF AN HOUR
BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD!


Musical Memories

Opposite....A little Momento from my Skyliner days where we 'Won' a Dance Band Competition in 1959, where has the time gone? For sure it was a great thrill....although we were the only Band to turn up! Ha Ha! No just Joking there.......

Some very ''Stiff'' Competition!



Thanks for visiting, hope you enjoy your stay. Come back again soon. Regards, Billy
