Since then he has toured in over 12 countries, made 8 albums, and played everywhere from

His musical mission is to perform traditional material, and to make it appeal to a wider
audience than the folk scene, especially for younger ears. He is a supporter of the movement
to protect minority cultures from extinction, as he values variety. He sings small nation language
songs such as Irish, Plat Deutsch, and Breton, and is fascinated by cultures meeting and cross fertilising.
This can also be seen in his artwork which can be seen here. He likes to challenge pre-conceptions
in music and art, to illustrate new thoughts, to encourage and inspire.
