I live in Bristol (UK) & I play the guitar, fiddle and mandolin. The fiddle is my favourite instrument which I have now been playing for two years. I own a Tim Phillips Infidel it's beautifully made and has a wonderful sound. I also own a Garrison Mandolin (from Newfoundland) and Fender and Yamaha guitars as well as a Yamaha piano (which I seldom play).
I have been to Ireland twice recently on musical adventures.
