Didge living near Chester England. Still learning mandolin, and zouk and most probably will be for even more years yet.
Also plays piano/keys quite reasonably, some guitar, amd a fair bit of blues harmonica, if given the chance.
Major interests in traditional music (Celtic and English), bluegrass, blues and cajun. Yep, pretty wide ranging and eclectic.
Oh and when I was a lad I played rock and roll tenor sax in a Liverpool rock band (oh so many many years ago)
I write reviews and articles for folk music listings magazine FOLK ORBIT based here in Chester. Also I'm involved with the organisation of the Chester Folk Festival (each year on the endof May bank holiday)
