The Kildrouthie Inn Sessions by Geordie Adams

About Me

Hello I was reared on the Mull of Galloway the little peninsula at the bottom left of Scotland where I took to busking on a half size tin fiddle at the age of four and continued till it fell apart. Then the mandolin, tin whistle, banjo, concertina and guitar playing Trad Scots / Irish as well as the roots music associated with these instruments. I played in Edinburgh Liverpool and London in my teens (1960’s) then stopped playing when I was twenty had a family and started repairing guitars and violins along with a day job started playing acoustic guitar again in 1985. I play scots and irish tunes some very old in my own style and write some tunes to. I aslo compose Electronica. oh and I “try my hand” on the Irish pipes and low whistle though I’ll leave that for another lifetime to get it right.
