I am a former student of the RSAMD in Glasgow where I obtained a 1st class hons Degree and a Masters Degree (both in clarinet performance). While living in Scotland I performed regularly with the Orchestras of Scottish Opera, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of Scottish Ballet, as well as the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland in Dublin. Since my return to Northern Ireland in 2004 I regularly perform with the Ulster Orchestra and Camerata Ireland, as well as continuing my association with the BBCSSO. In addition to playing clarinet, I also double on Bass and Eb.
