Mock performs original instrumental compositions on the guitar, concertina and tin whistle. Audiences enjoy the casual narration and storytelling, which enliven the characters and places upon which the music is based. Mock’s own photography is projected onto a screen behind him and provides a beautiful backdrop for the music.
