MacConnell began writing songs very early in his life. In 1965,[2] he wrote Only Our Rivers Run Free - a song that describes the natural world being damaged by the Irish border and that has been described by Stuart Bailie as "political but not hectoring".[3] This encouraged him to seriously devote himself to writing music when he moved to Listowel, County Kerry, where he lives[4] with his wife, Maura.
MacConnell has released only two albums. His first album, Peter Pan and Me, was released in 1992.[5] His second album, Joined Up Writing, was released in 2000.
