Hi! I’m a professional musician with a Music degree from the University of Cambridge (graduated 2009).

In addition to solo violin engagements, I play and call for several ceilidh bands including the Bristol Ceilidh Quartet and Csus4 Ceilidh Band, both of which are based in the Bristol/Somerset area.

I teach violin, piano and ukulele in Bristol and I deliver traditional music and dance workshops to schools across the country. I’m a former Creative Artist In Residence at Cecil Sharp House, London, and you can listen to some of my compositions here.
