    I am a full time musician, a Scotsman living in Ireland, who plays the music of Ireland & Scotland on Fiddle, English Concertina, Hammered Dulcimer & Nyckelharpa.

    *********************************************
    I spend my days teaching traditional music in local Primary Schools & occasionally giving talks on trad music in schools. I also run three local Pub Sessions each week. ... Now retired.

    *********************************************
    I set up the 'Concertinas in Scotland' Forum & a MySpace, in order to help promote these wonderful instruments in Scotland.

    *********************************************
    If you ever find yourself heading for the Causeway Coast, please get in touch. I'd love to meet up & swop tunes, while you are in the area.
    Cheers
