I am a master shakuhachi player & teacher and taiko performer, holding a shihan (teaching license) from the KSK (Kokusai Shakuhachi Kenshukan; see here for KSK Europe). I am also a member of the Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers, Europe's only fully professional taiko touring group, where in addition to taiko and an eclectic mix of other instruments I also play shinobue. I regularly publishe videos on YouTube, many tutorials on how to play shakuhachi and shinobue but also videos on related topics as well as performances of old and new music, where ’new music’ usually means combining shakuhachi with taiko and electronica. I split my time between Edinburgh in Scotland and Papenburg in Germany. I am available for performances and teaching both face-to-face and via the Internet. To get in touch just send an email or click a link to one of the usual social media sites at the top of this page. There is also an (infrequent) newsletter. |
