Welcome to my website

I started playing fiddle at the age of 14 after playing tenor banjo for a couple of years. Fiddle is still my main instrument, although I also play viola, mandolin, bouzouki, (low) whistles and soprano and alto sax. Over the years I have done concerts and recorded with a wide range of musicians.

At the moment I am busy with:

• Dave Munnelly Band
  I have recently joined the Dave Munnelly Band (DMB). For 2012—2013 we have some concerts planned in Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Germany.
• Fling
  I joined this band in 2008. We do two theatre tours a year and besides playing some great music we have a great laugh! New album is just out and called "A ditch near Cree" (CUP 8044). A new theatre show and CD "The Lighthousekeeper" for 2013 are in the making.
• Andar
  Formerly known as Dave Munnelly and friends, we now have a real name: Andar. The band consists of Helen Flaherty, Dave Munnelly, Philip Masure, Fons van Hamel and myself. The album "The Storms" is finally finished and available through www.andarmusic.com or by dropping me a line.
• Clementine
  Band with Philip and Fons. We accompany this fabulous singer from Goedereede.

I hope you enjoy the website.
