I have played the fiddle for about 18 years. First learnt in Brighton, UK from evening classes run by Nick Pynn. First session experiences were in Brighton. I have lived in Auckland, New Zealand for the last 12 years, I play at local seesion and take part in the annual Gaidealtachd.
I'm currently really into the New York Fiddle players and am fascinated by the lineage - Michael Coleman, Andy McGann, Paddy Reynolds, Tony De Marco.
