I was born in Ireland in the city of Waterford in a modest family and enjoyed a shelterd upbringing with my Father and Mother and my one older sister. Being a fairly introspective child I didn’t have a large circle of freinds but in my teens I discovered the wireless. Haveing saved up my pocket money for a long time I finally bought a good wireless an so began my love of music.At about 16 I started working in hotels, lost my shyness and discovered the Guitar, started playing in pubs and sessions, got taught a lot by lots of good players and haven’t stopped since. I’ve been playing in and around Frankfurt for many years playing all types of gigs from “Feuerwehrfest” right through to  “Deutsche Bundesbank”. I got married in 1998 and in 2003 haveing been working in a music shop where I was not happy with the service they offered, opened up my own music shop to better cater to people who want to play music. My shop is in Frankfurt am Main city center (www.musikshop- city.de). Alan Sherry © Alan Sherry 2011
