Awaiting delivery of a new 3 chanterelle, multi drone, 2 trompette Eaton Hurdy Gurdy!Born in 1958, the 5th of 6 in North Hertfordshire, I began my musical career aged 12 being taught piano and organ. I moved into folk rock as a teenager being turned on by Irish trad and Fairport. I moved into French music soon after having acquired a set of Praetorius bagpipes in F(!). My mate Jim Parr made me a set of G Flemish and I moved more heavily into the French stuff. I bought my first Swayne set of pipes many years ago and this is my 5th hurdy gurdy.I was a founder member of folk rockers Shave the Monkey building a firm following at major venues across the UK and Europe and national TV and Radio. Played Cambridge and Fairport's Cropredy in 94 alongside Dranouter and Deerlyke (Belgium) and Skagen (Denmark). Shave made 4 successful CDs before splitting in 2002 soon after I left Cambridge and moved near Glastonbury, where I soon joined Dragonsfly. However, Shave have since decided to reform for some reunion gigs late 2008.Dragonsfly have performed live on radio 2 on Charles Hazlewood's program and have recorded 3 albums. A live CD is in the making as I speak. Dragonsfly have also performed at Glastonbury Festival as well as many UK arts centres and festivals.My musical highlights include playing on Later with Jools Holland with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.I'm married to Sarah and we have 3 boys - all musical. Jake achieved grade 8 flute with distinction aged 15 (now 19) and plays fantastic piano. Arch (16) has turned into a great melodeon player and has 3 boxes which he plays in his own band as well as guesting with Dragonsfly at times. He has 2 Castagnaris). Felix (11) is learning violin.I also work as a cognitive psychotherapist privately and with the NHS. href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com/profileeditor.php"&g t;MySpace Profile Editor !
