Caraaz

Hello

I live near Manchester, England. I've been learning fiddle for just over 8 years and love it. I play at home , go to workshops and have a fortnightly lesson from a great Irish player based in Manchester .

Last year I started trying out various sessions- some I've found from this site and go to one near St Helens regularly- no big egos, don't play too fast and we have a laugh. Making progress and I'm happy with it.

Next project is to buy an old fiddle and have a go at bringing it back to life!
