About Me

My main instrument is the irish uilleann pipes, but I also sing and play guitar, whistles, bouzouki and cello ...

After living and working in Vienna, Austria for 7 years as a professional musician and sound engineer, I have signed up for the "Irish Music and Dance" studies at the "Irish World Academy of Music and Dance" in Limerick, Ireland in 2007.

It's been a great adventure so far, and I am glad to have made the choice to come to Ireland, to study Irish Music at it's very core.

Sounds Like: Micheál de Mórdha at the Céiliúradh an Bhlascaoid said about a bunch of us playing in Kruger..s Pub in Dún Chaoin, Contae Chiarraí:

"Bhí ceoltóirí ó Ollscoil Luimnigh agus do bhain siad macallaí as na fallaí agus bhí fear amháin ag rince a bhain macallaí as an úrlár."

...which in english would mean somenthing like:

"There were musicians from the university of Limerick there, and they were bringing the echoes out of the walls and there was one man dancing who brought the echoes out of the floor."
