I'm a classically trained violinist, Suzuki since age 5. I stopped for a while during my teens to pursue classical guitar, electric guitar and keyboards. I'm also a singer - tenor. I am a hobbyist but do get the occasional paid gig playing weddings in a string quartet and also enjoy playing with my rock band. I attended my first fiddle week "Cairdeas na Bhfidleri" in Glencolmcille, County Donegal, Ireland in 2015 and it was great! I am looking to explore new and different styles of playing and especially interested in the music of Galicia. My family name is Gallego and I've just discovered a rich musical heritage in that region of Spain.
