Career
After his studies in University College Cork, Murphy moved to the United States. He served as a manager of O'Brien's Irish Pub and Restaurant in Santa Monica, California.[1] In 1996 he and Steve Wehmeyer joined with Steve Twigger and Uillean piper Brian Walsh to perform at that pub.
In 1997 he appeared in the film Titanic as part of the steerage band, performing "An Irish Party in Third Class". This appearance catapulted the band into the touring scene.
