I was born  &  bred in  Ballymena,  N Ireland,  next  door  to  Willy  Wilkinson who  was  Pipe Major of the  famous Cullybackey Pipe Band. I did  not have a  chance  to  play   the  pipes  until my  kids  were reared. 

 

I  am indebted to  Bob  McLellan who  has  taught  me  over the  last 25 yrs. I  love  the camaradie of the band where we all  have such  diverse lives but get  on  well  together.

          

I qualified as a vet  from  Trinity  College  Dublin  in 1966 and came to  Australia  the  same  year.  I have been in  vet practice in Kurmond  since 1974.

 

I have a son  &  daughter &  2 grand children who  can do no  wrong &  are  my  delight.
