Members near Galashiels, Scotland

Hello I’m Nick, originally from Ireland I now live in Scotland, in Inverness capital of the Highlands. I love all kinds of music but especially folk and roots and have recently taken to playing the Banjo.

I was a recorder player till I was in my early twenties, when I saw the Chieftains in Edinburgh in 1972 or ’73. I immediately went out and bought the Chieftains 3 LP, and a Generation C whistle. Forty-odd years later, I don’t know how many whistles I own.
