In the past I've worked with professional musicians including Laurence Perkins (bassoon) and Anthea Wood (bassoon) on the Raasay Music Courses.

I have also enjoyed many successful concerts over the years with Robert Parker (horn), Sarah Simmonds (voice)

and Dana Morgan (flute).

 

I have performed with the Northern Ireland Contemporary music ensemble Hard Rain – see here
