I am an Englishman of Irish descent Living in East Clare Ireland for the past 8 years. I play the Fiddle,Mandolin and Guitar. The Guitar hasn't been out of it's case in the last 6 years or so ... so maybe I don't play it any more. I have played in a number of sessions around the county. I used to play regularly in Peppers bar in Feakle on Wednesday Nights and Donnellon's Pub in Kilkishen on Fridays. Now though I only play regularly in my local session in Donnellon's since I developed Tendonitis in my left shoulder.
I have my own website for East Clare musicians http://claremusic.tripod.com
