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:

• 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).
• Andar
  Helen Flaherty, Dave Munnelly, Philip Masure, Fons van Hamel and myself
  The album is in the making and it sounds great!
• Clementine
  Band with Philip and Fons. We accompany this fabulous singer from Goedereede.
• The Fantastik Elastic Band
  Needs no introduction or safety pins
• The John O Gods
  with John and Ed O Dreams, Erik van Loo and my two old mates Mark Gilligan and Danny Guinan.

I hope you enjoy the website.
