About

O'Byrne was born in Dublin, Ireland. In the late 1960s, he emigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he met Dermot O'Reilly, Ralph O'Brien and Gary Kavanagh and performed as a member of The Sons of Erin band. When The Sons of Erin parted ways, O'Byrne, Kavanagh and O'Reilly completed their remaining tour commitments as O'Reilly's Men and later formed Sullivan's Gypsies with Don Sullivan.

In 1971, O'Byrne moved to St. John's, Newfoundland with the rest of the trio of Ryan's Fancy to begin what was to become a very recognizable music icon in the traditional Irish folk music for Newfoundland.
