About Me

What can I say... I'm a dreamer. I dont tend to live in the real world unless I have to. I'm a musician. Or at least I try to be!! I play the fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, piano, saxophone, drums and a bit on the harp, whistles etc. I'm by no means a virtuoso, but I love playing. I am however, like lightning on the fiddle.... i never hit the same place twice!!Its been said that maths is the universal language... well its not, music is.I am almost finished my latest project, making a fiddle. It is playing now, and varnished too. All thats left to do is the drawings on the side.The design of the fiddle will tell the story of an táin bo cúailgne. The sides will tell the story and the back carving shows the battle between the Donn and Findbennach at the end of the story. If you haven't read the saga I recommend it. Its a fantastic piece of Irish mythology.Back before sanding and laquering...Back after sanding and laquering...I will post more pics when its done. Poor quality video of meseff! Myspace Backgrounds
