Mercedes is a London-based Dublin-born bass player, whose latest freelance exploits include Bryn Terfel's Bad Boys tour, new works by Niall Vallely at the Cork Folk Festival, and a weekly outing with the Tradicional Cubano Trio. Other things that keep her busy include playing and planning for Situation Opera, teaching tiny people to play the bass at the Royal Academy of Music's First String Experience and trying to make a recognisable noise from a gutstring bass.
