Born 13th November - 1940 in Belfast, Ireland. 8 other siblings - all love to sing, An elder brother played fiddle. My father knew more Irish folk song than anyone else around. I play tenor banjo and mandolin and fool around on concertina, bodhran and mountain dulcimer. Played professionally in a group from 1968 to 1988. Still do a little as a single with one or two gigs every other week. Besides music my other passion is travel. Been all over the U.K., Ireland, Bahamas, Canada and about 21 states of the U.S.A. Hope you don't mind another Scorpio.
