Trombone

My other job

The standard of live music in Galway has always been very high. I've been lucky enough to play in some of the best bands Galway has produced over the last 25 years, including the Lewd Tunes, the Black Magic Big Band, Full Trousers, JaSid Orchestra, and The Horny Devils.

You might also see me in the pit in musical society shows, which I always enjoy.

Photography

My main hobby

I've been interested in photography since I was a teenager but only got serious about it when I hit 40. I discovered GuruShots in late 2018. This online photography game has given my the opportunity to grow as a photographer and make friends with like-minded people all over the world.

Obviously, all of the photos on this website are my own work.
