After almost daily use for at least 20 years, I'm getting a new shoulder rest!! I know it's that age as it has a little velcro strip on it... I designed a pack I could carry so I could walk on stage with Riverdance and it stuck to the velcro, and that was 20 ish years ago!! ...

Aww..love this dressing room pic from Celtic Connections in Glasgow 🤩 Always a bit of fun to be had getting ready for a concert with these guys - looking forward to our next adventures together Julie Fowlis, Eamon Doorley & John Mc Intyre!! #irishmusic #scottishmusic #gaeilge

20 years ago! 🤩 Where does the time go?!? Same fiddle, same bow 🩷 And nice to be on the cover with my friends - Máirtín O'Connor, Cathal Hayden & Gavin Whelan!! And people are still buying 'The Horse's Tail' album so that's nice 🥰🎶 #irishmusic #covergirl #ilovemyjob #album #friends
