About this user

I'm a folk musician specializing in Celtic music. I grew up in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. I play a Washburn acoustic guitar, a Hondo Mandolin and a Bridget bodhran. I also play pennywhistle, fife, fiddle and various percussion instruments. For those who are interested, I'm of Scottish and French descent. Also, when I play Irish or Scottish "rebel songs," I'm not commenting on the longstanding political quarrels in Ireland and the UK. For me, the music is the important thing. For booking, please send me a private message through youtube.
