James Dumbelton

Living in the channel islands on the island of Guernsey. I play Mandolin, Fiddle, English Pipes (by Jon Swayne) Guitar, Bodhrán and a bit of whistle.
I learnt to play Trad music in my home town of Totnes in Devon, where I played mainly Irish and Scottish music, as a young musician I travelled around Ireland with different musicians gaining some great insights into the Culture over there. Later I started playing English and on moving to Guernsey started playing Morris and Bal Folk, but I always use my initial roots of Irish music to fall back on and still love playing it as much as I can over here.
