Music maker based in Leitrim, Ireland.

I’m a fiddle and viola player with a background in traditional Irish music. I perform as a soloist and create music for theatre & film. I travel and perform in duos with Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, Martin Green (Lau) , Nic Gareiss, and as a member of Slow Moving Clouds, Skipper’s Alley, Neil Ó Lochlainn’s Cuar, and John Francis Flynn’s band.

Recently I composed and performed the music for a theatre production, Not A Word, by Brú Theatre alongside actor Raymond Keane and director James Riordan for a week of shows during Galway International Arts Festival 2023. An album I made with Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, Solas an Lae, which was released on the Scottish label Watercolour Music in 2020, was awarded Best Folk Album at the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards 2021. You can hear that here.

In 2022, I was commissioned to create a film and score as part of Ulysses Journey 2022. The film was screened in IFI, Dublin; CCI, Paris; SARC, Belfast and Budapest, Hungary, and at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival 2022. You can watch and listen to that right here.

I facilitate creative projects for children and young people within a school environment, mainly focussing on encouraging exploration of sound and student-centred group composition.

On this website you can find out about performances, upcoming dates, projects in theatre, film and music, and you can take a gander at the online record shop.

I play a Michiel de Hoog violin thanks to the support of the Music Capital Scheme and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Music Network and The Arts council.
