Hello MySpace-ophiles.

Long time since I've written. Update: 7 weeks in to my MA in Ethnomusicology at UCC which is absolutely fabulous and as challenging as I anticipated. I got over Swine Flu (yock!). Still teaching at I.T.M.I ( http://www.itmi.ie/history.htm ), in Cajole and Bully ( http://www.myspace.com/cajoleandbully ) , Turloughmore Céili Band (http://www.turloughmoreceiliband.com/ ) occassional member of Shaskeen (http://www.shaskeen.net/ ) among other things.

My composing music has reduced dramatically since the Summer, it's something I'm struggling with to be honest.  I'm more focussed on academia these days (no option really, so much reading etc). I'm loving it, but feel like I'm missing something (writing music). It's good to be busy though....really good to be busy :-)

Personal life: excellent. Money: always scraping by. Happiness : affirmitive :-)

Please go to this if you can :
