Turlough O'Carolan was an Irish composer, singer and harpist. He was born in 1670 in County Meath, Ireland. His tunes are still loved and played today. For a taste of O'Carolan's music, see Fanny Power.

Do you like playing in public? We are in the process of forming a band of enthusiastic amateur players to entertain at lunch clubs, hospices, sheltered accommodation and community events. All acoustic instruments welcome, plus keyboards. To conform to licensing laws, we play traditional tunes from around the world and other non-copyright material*, such as songs by Gershwin.

Sheet music with chords in the form of pdf files are provided.

I ran a successful entertainment group in Somerset for many years and found it very rewarding.  If you'd like to join us,  please contact me.

For more information about me, see About.

Don't fancy performing? We are also looking for musicians to joins us in our fortnightly Friday afternoon sessions. We meet in a private house in Orpington.

Please contact us if you are interested. You're welcome to come along and see what we do before deciding.

Happy Music Making.
