I work for the Galway City Partnership on a Tús scheme where I run a choir as choirmaster and work a day volunteer in Saint Vincent De Paul’s once a week too.

I am also sell employed and have my own workshop in The Forge Arts Centre on New Road, Galway City just of Mill Street where I repair and customise harmonica for people all over the world mainly Ireland, Britain and Europe ! i.e. I am endorsed by Hohner harmonica manufacturers in Germany for ‘All Ireland’ repairs and Seydel too. I am trained by world renowned harmonica genius Brendan Power. I give workshops in England two or three times a year with the National Harmonica League. Here is my website: www.harmonicasireland.com
