I love puppetry, cycling, talking and drinking.
But most of all I love to play guitar, accordion, cornet and harmonica. I'm now a member of Wonderbrass and have been having lots of fun playing with them. I also like to (attempt to) play the fiddle among other instruments and tell really really bad jokes. Ask me for a free sample...
Fagin.
