Return to G8INA HomePage and please read the Guestbook

Brief introduction to G8INA: Real name : David Harris. Philosopher, poet, musician, singer/songwriter, sound recording engineer, photographer, reviewer for various websites (see links), birdwatcher & astronomer.

I play and teach the Bodhran, if you live in or around Telford, call me for lessons. I have won Bronze, Silver and Gold medals in the Midlands Fleadhanna over the last few years (CCE). I have given three Bodhran workshops for FOLKUS - the Folk Arts Network for the Northwest (& organiser of Fylde Folk Festival), one at one of their own workshop sessions, the other two at the 2004 & 2005 Nantwich Festival. Still quite happy for new pupils, but be aware that I cannot travel, and only give one on one lessons at my home here in Telford. Please contact me for more info.

G8Music Studios : I am a fully qualified sound recording engineer, with 25+ years experience and 10 commercially released CDs, including the Jake Thackray Project limited edition. See jakethackray.com for more info, or G8Music at Yahoo for the full story. I am still available for editing and CD production, although the recording side is now closed due to the disability.

If you live locally and would like to know more about the music side, then email g8ina(at)blueyonder(dot)co(dot)uk or use standard post to David Harris, 35, St Michaels Close, Telford, Shropshire, TF7 5SD, UK. Come and visit The Boat at Jackfield, Telford, Thursday nights and look out for the tall dark (balding and rapidly greying) one playing the Roddy Turner bodhran (though I only visit rarely now). Suffering from Fibromyalgia since 1998, so not playing as much these days, but I can still teach ..... Photo here
