Information: Eugene was born in Ireland but grew up in the UK. He is a self taught banjo player who started by playing in folk bands at the age 15 and moved on to Bluegrass some years later picking up Guitar and Mandolin along the way. His time in the Air Force saw him in bands from Germany to The Shetland Islands playing Folk, Country, Bluegrass and a little bit of Rock. He eventually settled as a banjo player for London based Bluegrass bands as The Rocky Island Boys, Bluegrass Express and Barnstorm. In the early 90's he changed from banjo to mandolin when he joined Grassfire already a band that was making its presence felt in the UK Bluegrass festival circuit and the commuting between Brussels and London was intense ! Meeting up with Thierry at EWOB a few years ago initiated the picking sessions and the start of the band.
