About Me:
I'm a banjo player, trying to master the intricasies of this fantastic instrument!!
Favorite Music:
As a banjo player I'd have to start with the likes of Gerry O'Connor and Barney McKenna, but I'm also into all kinds of other trad really - from téada through to more progressive trad in kíla and Ronán ó Snodaigh. Love also the newer brands of Celtic music from the likes of Flogging Molly, the Dropkick Murphys and seem to be following Blood or Whiskey quite a bit now. If I was to add Chrsty moore to this list I fear it would only make my taste sound even more eklectik!!!

Next week then things start rif…

It will be a few days yet before I am able to play again I think and I miss my tunes immensely.

Of course the other moment was from a few too many beers last night and hense spent a tired night in a hotel - wo…
