Watch me play violin in a folk band! 🎻

Hello everyone! I'd like to introduce you to The Shannons, the folk band that I recently joined! In this video, we play The Ferryman, a song by The Dubliners.

A little introduction:

The Shannons are Noel and Lynn Shannon, husband and wife. Noel is from Ireland and Lynn is from The Netherlands. They've been performing as a duo for many years. They wanted to expand the band and added Paddy (from Ireland) to the group, he plays the banjo. To make the group complete, they wanted a violinist. They found me on Facebook and Youtube, invited me to play along in one of their rehearsals and somehow they liked me enough that they asked me to become part of the band. Recently, we had our very first performance.
