Me and My Travels: Hermitage Green's Barry Murphy on his Sri Lanka surprise

Musician, songwriter, and former Munster and Ireland rugby player Barry Murphy is never not on the move. Whether it’s a gig with Hermitage Green or hosting the annual Munster Rugby Ball in New York, travel has been a lifelong constant. He talks growing up on the road and a family trip to New Zealand that changed his life.

Favourite childhood holiday memory

My parents were big travellers. They worked really hard and any opportunity they got, we were piled into the car.
