A great craftsman knows his instrument well.
After years of practice and playing Jack has been fortunate to play at numerous Australian music festivals, including the Port Fairy Folk Festival, the Woodforde Folk Festival, and the National Celtic Folk Festival in Portarlington Victoria. In 2012 Jack was invited to play with well known Australian singer/song writer Shane Howard, which saw him play in the Mutitjulu community in Uluru. In 2016 Jack was asked to play at the Willie Clancy Festival in Miltown Malbay, County Clare Ireland.
After many years of playing this amazing instrument, Jack started on his journey on learning how to make the Uilleann Pipes from Master Craftsman Craig Fischer, living in the Adelaide hills.
