I'm an experienced and friendly professional musician that has been playing for over 20 years and have delighted audiences in various different environments including at weddings, functions, pubs, nightclubs, care homes and schools. My repertoire is varied and I can play many different styles including pop, rock, folk and classical. I am willing to take requests and will cater each performance to best suit the audience I am performing in front of. My sensitive yet passionate approach to music has been highly commended by the audiences I have performed in front of. I have performed in many prestigious venues since I was a teenager including the Cavern Club in Liverpool, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, King Tuts in Glasgow and the Sage Gateshead.
I also offer private tuition and I am able to offer lessons on fiddle or clarsach (celtic harp). I have been teaching in various environments for 8 years, including one to one tuition and group lessons at festivals. I aim to provide the best service for each of my pupils and for me that means catering each lesson to best suit the needs of the pupil. My friendly, patient and helpful approach has been praised by those I teach.
For more information on the services I offer, prices or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me!
