I play the hurdy-gurdy and I'm especially interested in participating in an ensemble that performs English Country Dance as well as French and Breton traditional music. I am especially inspired by the example of the band Blowzabella that plays such traditional music and who also composes examples in that style. I also play the bassoon and it so happens that Blowzabella had bassoon in their line-up!

Influences
Along with Blowzabella, I am much influenced by the 1970s folk revival in the UK, with bands or albums like the Brass Monkey or The Complete Dancing Master. Martin Carthy and Ashley Hutchinson are my heroes.
