Perth, Western Australia. I play whistles (Howard low D, Burke DASBT, GFM low F), and I'm squawking my way to mastering a half-set of uilleann pipes built by Murray Jackson (New Zealand). I also play piano, bodhran (when it's safe), and guitar (when Donough isn't looking).
I model my style of playing and arranging on the three Mcs – McCusker, McGoldrick, McSherry.
Other favourite artists/groups, in no particular order: Mick O'Brien, DÃarmaid Moynihan, Brendan Ring, Nuala Kennedy, Brian Finnegan, Lúnasa, Kevin Crawford, Cillian Vallely, Elandir, Garry Shannon, Jarlath Henderson, Beòlach, Liam O'Flynn, Paddy Keenan, Eliot Grasso, Todd Denman, Brian McNamara, Kathryn Tickell, Chris Stout, Fraser Fifield, Finlay MacDonald, Rory Campbell, Sylvain Barou.
