Celtic Harp and Scottish Gaelic Performance and Instruction
I play Scottish Gaelic music on the Celtic harp, sing Gaelic songs, and teach both the Scottish Gaelic language and song repertoire. Based in Seattle and Vancouver BC, I am thoroughly immersed in the local Gaelic scene. I also love Irish music and playing Cape Breton fiddle tunes.

In addition to performing and teaching, I can be convinced to be the Fear an Taighe (master of ceremonies) at céilidhs. If you don't know what a céilidh is, there's a page all about them linked below.

I've also been known to teach people Scottish céilidh dances.

Heath Andrews Reviews Baile Ard
Celtic harp and Gaelic lyrics don’t make for the most commonly heard recordings today, but with Seumas Gagne behind them, they make for one of the most compelling.
