Craic Addict

Hi folks,
I'm 25-ish years old and originally from Athlone (the Westmeath side), but I have lived all over the place. I started playing trad music around 2 years or so ago while I was living in London.

I only really started to learn tunes in the past year while living in Calgary (Canada) and am gradually building my repertoire. I am back in Ireland for the moment, and it's great to actually play Irish music in Ireland!

I play a Michael Burke brass session D whistle and I LOVE it! I also have one of his Low D Viper whistles in aluminium, although I love my high D so much that I don't play the low whistle nearly as often as I should!

I've played guitar for years, and I'm now attempting to learn to back tunes in DADGAD - Don't worry... I only do that in the privacy of my own home and have no intention of using my guitar to wreck any of the local sessions... I find I can do that just fine with a whistle...

My latest project is an attempt at learning the uilleann pipes. I have a practice set which I'm struggling to fix up and make it playable. If it takes so much effort to get the damn thing to play properly and in tune, I dread to think what it will be like learning to both play and maintain the instrument!!
