So I am now an official member of the band “The Islanders” Okinawa’s top Irish Traditional Music combo. We are 5 – Maho incredible fiddler and the best front end in the business – Yokay, also on fiddle and smile, Guitar Tommy, Gerard from North of Belfast on Flute whistle,guitar and vocals and me. We play in the Smugglers in Naha on the last Saturday of each month – be there.
