Vincent and his brother Peter, became interested in traditional Irish music at an early age, mainly due to the influence of their mother, Ann. By their early twenties the two brothers had become accomplished traditional musicians and followed the example set for them by the musicians of the Ballinakill and Aughrim Slopes Céilí Bands.

In the early 1950's, Vincent joined the Piper's Club in Dublin and joined with some of the greats of Irish music; Leo Rowsome, Mrs. Harrington, John Joe Gardiner, Willie Clancy, Seán Seery and many more.
