From Donegal, I now live and work in Dublin.
Was lucky to grow up in the era of Planxty, Clannad, De Danann and the Bothy Band and Altan. Their magical powers of playing made a complete "folk freak" of me to the point where I wouldn't listen to anything else. Could at one time (when I owned an anorak) explain in great detail who played what instrument on each track of every album!
Still enjoying the music.
In possession of a Moon mandolin (possession with intent to cause damage to music perhaps!) with which I've been struggling on and off for ten years.
