8/2/06 - Moving to Nelson


I have relocated from Castle Hill Village in Canterbury to Nelson. I should be fully established in Nelson by the beginning of March and look forward to finding my feet and working with the Irish music community here.

As yet I don't have a local phone number or address but I will post that on the site once we have settled in a house.

To all the people that have helped me in Canterbury while I have been there I just want to say a great big thank you.
