A versatile, Imaginative and widely experienced teacher and performer, I have worked in primary, secondary and special needs education as well as outdoor field study and major national museums. I play penny whistle and bagpipe, bodhràn and ukulele and make many of my own costumes and props. 

Playing the Bodhran
I am a member of Equity which includes public liabilty insurance to £10m & have an enhanced disclosure from the CRB dated 2010.

For the most part my work is aimed at children aged 7-11 or family groups but there is some flexibilty - Mr. Beetle goes down well with younger children and those with both severe and moderate learning difficulties.

All my performances cover a range of targets in the National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2. 

Performances can last from 30 minutes to over an hour depending upon the circumstances and the content can be varied during the day if required.
