Geoff Horrocks is a "by ear" player. He plays piano, Fiddle and Guitar
and is delighted to be the house accompanist at this years Govan Fiddle
contest. Geoff has played shows with some of Canada's great musicians
including Mark Sullivan, Patty Lamoureux, Gordon Stobbe, Calvin Vollrath,
Shane Cook, Jacinthe Trudeau and numerous other gifted, inspiring and
talented players. Geoff
enjoys the thrill of accompanying fiddle players. He loves to try to
inspire and motivate fiddle players by creating interesting chord
arrangements "on the fly". Geoff writes - "I like to feed off of the
mood and energy created by the fiddler. Their playing directly affects
how I feel and what I will ultimately play."
Geoff recently retired from the
high tech field to embark on a career in music. He is involved in
several recording projects and teaches seasonally at fiddle camps and
privately at his home in Ottawa. |
