About me

I live in West Clare, in a farmhouse with a stone barn at the end of the yard. I learned the tin whistle from my father at the kitchen table and the fiddle a few years later, and I have played traditional tunes most evenings of my life.

I record in the barn because the walls make a good sound, and I teach what I was taught: tunes learned by ear, a few ornaments and a lot of slow playing. A new video comes every Wednesday, and everything in the shop is something I use myself.
