More About Me
I have been playing the violin for nearly 30 years. Growing up in a folk music family, I have played fiddle from a young age.
I teach Irish fiddle full-time. You can find out more about me and my teaching here: <a href="https://learntoplaythefiddle.co.uk/fiddle-teaching">Learn to play the fiddle</a>
I am a well known player on the Irish session scene in London, Bristol and Bath, and have spent time playing in Scotland, around Ireland and further afield. I have played with a number of Ceilidh bands over the years, including in Bristol and Bath. I run several Irish sessions in Bristol, UK: <a href="https://learntoplaythefiddle.co.uk/traditional-irish-sessions-in-bristol/">Irish sessions in Bristol</a>
I have studied with Karen Ryan (The London Lasses), Donegal's Liz Doherty, and am certified as a Teacher of Traditional Music by the Royal Irish Academy of Music.
I am a very experienced teacher (2000+ hours one-to-one teaching), and I am available for <a href="https://learntoplaythefiddle.co.uk/irish-fiddle-lessons-online/">fiddle lessons online</a> or in person in Bristol. I currently have nearly 40 active students, many of whom have been learning with me for year. I am very proud of my student feedback and have a 5-star rating on Google. I also run <a href="https://learntoplaythefiddle.co.uk/fiddle-workshops/">Irish fiddle workshops</a>, for intermediate and advanced players.
