These days, mandolin. Irish music. You can see me at 'Irish' Billy Briggs' Tir na nOg Pub performing solo, with Tom Glover, John O'Neal and the Sunday Seisun Singers. Wednesday and Friday nights I accompany Tom Glover on mandolin. Saturday nights I play acoustic guitar and sing Irish, rock and country songs. Sundays I host the Sunday Seisun, open to all musicians with a love for Irish music.
