Hi my name's Stuart, I'm originally from the UK but have been living in the west of Ireland since 2017.
I play the bodhran and have been learning to play for the past 2 years. I also play guitar here and there.
I love Nordic / Celtic folk bands such as Heilung, Wardruna, Faun, Gealdyr, Kati Ran etc... but I also really enjoy playing in Irish Trad sessions.
