My real name is Janek. It used to be my nick on TheSession for a number of years, but I've made so many enemies here by trolling and treading on people's toes that I've decided to change it to something obscure and start afresh, with a clean scorecard. So if you somehow guessed that it's me, please keep it to yourself. It's a secret between me and you now.

I used to play backing guitar for a few years (DADGAD), and am an intermediate flute player, still struggling with some fundamental technical problems.
I used to play in two Irish music bands in Poland and was actively learning in festivals, workshops and sessions in the west-coast Ireland between 2004 and 2007, where I got a lot of good advice and met great people; I've moved out of playing in bands in January 2008, and stopped playing guitar in April, finishing my guitarista career with a nice touch - playing with a great group of Irish lads and lassies at a festival in Nord Pas de Calais, France. At the moment I'm still learning to play the flute, but it's very extensive - rather to provide me with stress relief after work than to lift me to perfection.
If you are interested in world music in general, come over to the festival I'm working at.

No Irish music this year, but I'm firm about getting some good Irish band in here next year.
