Started music with a mouth organ, then a banjo-mandolin, got a bodhran in mid seventies and never looked back.
Originally from Belfast, bought the bodhran and moved to Manchester, and served an apprenticeship with "Sully", who for some reason liked me.
Member of the infamous Gorton Morrismen, North west clog morris, and the group Gorton Tank. Also played in traditional groups.
Returned to Norn Ireland, and played zilch for about 4 years before making a comeback.
I think sessions are now well established pub entertainment, and just like "big screen" football, it would be boring if we all followed the same team, or thought the same way.
