Hiya! I'm a musician based in Bray, Co. Wicklow, looking to meet new musicians with whom to jam and work on some original material. My primary instrument is the guitar, which I've been playing since I was eight years old (and playing well since I was sixteen). I also play synthesizer, bass guitar, and noodle around with a few other instruments too. Thanks for checking out my profile!
