Having failed completely to update this site since I’ve been living in Wales, I have decided it is high time since I did so…so keep visiting in case I make it a habit!
I’ve recently been playing with some new and exciting groups and musicians - see below for links to the different projects
I’ve also been supporting my great mate Steve to set up an evening class for musicians who want to play for traditional dancing. This has had a fantastic start, a really interested group meeting weekly in Llantwit Major, and the project is gathering interest and coverage from places such as Taplas and the EFDSS
