with many bands in England, and since 2003 throughout New England and beyond. He led the
Aylesbury Fiddle Rally for 10 years, and has taught Scottish fiddle widely, including Pinewoods camp,
the UK's Hands-On-Music series, the Dance Flurry, Middlebury College, other weekends & festivals, and private
fiddle lessons at home in Addison, VT.
He plays regularly with Atlantic Crossing,
with whom he has released 5 CDs, and Frost and Fire.
His solo UK album was released in 2003, and he has since published two volumes of his own compositions.
Outside music, he tutors biology and chemistry at high school level (an 18-year career in England) and
builds cedar-strip canoes, doing business as
Otter Creek Smallcraft.
