Derek - living in Whitchurch, Hampshire, England. I play Tenor Banjo, Tenor Guitar & Mandolin, mainly in sessions, and with a local group of musicians for occasional gigs with 'Colcannon'. I try to get to several festivals each year, and also like to look up sessions further afield when I'm working away, or on holiday. I play mostly Irish but also spattering of other 'celtic' tunes. Favourite banjo players currently Brian Kelly(London), John Carty, Enda Scahill (Galway), Angelina Carberry and Kevin Griffin (Doolin). Lucky enough to own a Dave Boyle short scale banjo which is just awesome !
