Well I guess I ought to do the formal thing too...

I'm in Edinburgh. I'm 24 and have always been into trad music, having been fed liberal amounts of it by my guitar-playing (and singing) parents. It obviously worked as all 3 of us kids grew up musical. I mainly play the Scottish small pipes and border pipes, but also whistles, cittern, fiddle, bodhran... etc with varying degrees of ability. I used to sing quite a bit but have fallen out of it recently. If there were 48 hours in a day it wouldn't be enough time to play music in. I keep having to stop myself from buying more instruments. But I WILL learn the highland pipes soon... sorry neighbours... :-)

My boss gives me funny looks when I tell him I've been at a session and tells me off for drinking in 'old men's pubs'.

I like old men's pubs...
