Hi All!
I'm Zen (real name Richard Moore) and I live in Perthshire, Scotland.
I'm primarily an instrumentalist but have been known to sing on rare occasions. My main instruments these days are mandolin and guitar (both about 45 years) with an emphasis more on the former. I also play tenor banjo, other mandolin family instruments, domra, mountain dulcimer (but I gave mine to my daughter) and a little fiddle and, in a slightly different genre, I'm learning Scottish Smallpipes. I play Irish, Scottish and other traditional music and some country blues but, these days, my interests are much more in playing and learning old-timey music.
I'm always up for a session if anybody's up this way and looking for local old-timey musicians to jam with (down to Glasgow and Edinburgh and up as far as Dundee are reasonably doable for me) and am up for venturing further afield if there's something interesting doing.
Looking forward to being a member here and hopefully making contacts with some of you.
Richard/Zen
