Carol 'Ace-Bass' O'Regan
Carol 'Ace-Bass' O'Regan
Born in London, her Irish parents took her back to Ireland when she was ten, and having taken up piano a year earlier, she continued to develop her music talents there with the help of the Dominican nuns.  This culminated in taking a B.Mus at U.C.D.  She took up cello at 14 as a second instrument, and won scholarships, competitions, appeared on a TV masterclass, and played  in a rock band Sunday nights in Baggot Street, Dublin called "Average Contents".

After her degree she played in the National Symphony Orchestra, and taught cello and piano.  A chance conversation ended with a "bee in her bonnet" to come to London to train in Music Therapy.  She met Denis at college and the rest is History!  Carol still considers herself truly Irish! 

The Bass guitar, given to her by Denis at Christmas '99 was the "spark" that caused the "Wildfire"!!  Ron showed her the tuning (a bit different to the cello!), Nick gave her a few lessons and she was away. Now 11 years later she is playing without any print - Yippee! Sinding Tide is High, and doing backing vocals. Favourite artists include: David Bowie, Bjork, Sting, Donal Lunny, Afro Celt Sound System, The Verve, George Michael and anything that is creative and unusual!
