In 1997 I went on a web design course at the University of Wolverhampton spread over three Saturdays.  At the end of it I got a certificate for a module.  Then in 1999 I actually started working for the University on an IT project based in Church Stretton, Shropshire.  I taught the web design course to individuals and people running small businesses.

I needed an example of my own to show students, so I chose to design a folk website.... Sabrinaflu.  On old maps the River Severn is called Sabrina flumen - flu for short.

The site reflects my interests. Irish Music, Stivell, Ralph McTell, Dubliners.

I really enjoying being part of sessions at The Boat Inn, Jackfield, and have learned a vast amount of tunes and songs.

I do enjoy going to Folk Festivals, but stick to a couple a year.  Shrewsbury and Festival at the Edge.
