About

I’m originally from Co.Clare, Ireland & started the fiddle at the ripe old age of 7. I was involved in the Fleadh Cheoil since the age of 10, having won the u18 Munster Fiddle Solo, u18 All-Ireland Group & reached the All-Ireland stage for Newly Composed Tunes. I received a scholarship to the Blás International Summer School at University of Limerick, and have qualifications in Grade 8 Violin & Grade 5 Music Theory from ABRSM.
