Calendar



Barring conflict with an event listed below, the following are semi- regular performances, jams, and workshops where I can be found:

On Monday evenings, I am often at the Irish session at the Four Provinces pub in Falls Church, VA, starting at about 8:30 PM.

On the first Thursday of every month, I play with the City of Alexandria Pipes and Drums at Pat Troy's Ireland's Own in Old Town Alexandria, VA for a brief set beginning at about 9:30 PM.

On the first Sunday of every month from 3:00 - 6:00 PM, I lead the Scottish session at The Royal Mile pub in Wheaton, MD.

On the second Sunday of months from October to May, I usually attend a meeting of the Potomac Valley Scottish Fiddle Club, held at members' homes around the DC area. The workshop begins at 2:30 PM, a pot-luck dinner at about 5:30 PM, and a Scottish session runs from 7:30-9:30.
