Name: John
Age: 44

Father of 4. Fiddle, banjo and mandolin player with a love of Old Time Appalachian, Celtic and Arcadian music. I play fiddle in a barn dance band and fiddle/banjo/mandolin in various other collaborations. I was inspired to upload videos by some of the superb musicians I've seen on YouTube and by the need for something to do in my lunchbreaks. I just hope my small contributions help to give these fantastic old tunes the airing they deserve.
