I live in the Fair City of Perth (Scotland not Australia) and can regularly be found in sessions in Dundee and Glasgow and various other parts of Scotland when the mood takes me.
I play guitar, whistles and bouzouki (and have recently bought a mini tenor guitar).

I help to run the session in Mennies in Dundee on a Tuesday night - if you find yourself in town please pop down - it is a great night.
