Started playing fiddle same week (Aug/Sept 1963) as younger brother Gerry but NOT with the same interest. Been involved with music in some shape or form since then. From Aug. 1978 until Oct.1998 was on mainland Europe and though I played in several bands really missed the sessions. Since returning I run a Trad. Music school and B & B near Lismore Co. Waterford.

Been sick though (leukaemia) and have just started getting back into things.
2009;- I was just getting back when I had a crash (Dec 2004)and I damaged my shoulder. Now after 4 years I'm trying to relearn lots I've forgotten.
