Hi,

(Helen you couldn't do it.... but I can)..

It's 35 degrees here, and sunny..... it's too humid for my liking and I need a drink.........

As you probably all know by now I'm in Sydney. I've been here for almost 7 years. Before that I was mainly in Belfast although I lived in other places around Northern Ireland.

I have 2 young kids (Ryan is 4, Shannon is 3)and a hubby.... from Holywood, Northern Ireland.

I play a heap of stuff which I've been carting around in this heat all weekend...... not much fun... love the playing though. At the moment I play whistle, flute, bodhran, keyboard, piano accordion, and sing. I'm still trying to teach myself uilleann pipes, button concertina, bones, and saxophone.

I'm in a couple of bush bands and a duo with Alan of Australia, (who lives about 5 minutes away.)
