Paddy Glackin & Liam O Flynn, with An Crann Óg
Paddy Glackin.
One of Ireland ‘s leading traditional fiddle players Paddy Glackin is a Dublin man proud of his strong links to County Donegal. His father, Tom Glackin, was a fiddle player and instilled in Paddy a deep interest and love of the music of his native county -Donegal. It was on a trip to Donegal as a boy alongside his father, the noted music collector Breandan Breathnach and Clare fiddle player John Kelly, that Paddy first encountered the music and sparkling personalities of two of the legendary figures of Irish fiddle music- the travelling tinsmiths, John and Mickey Doherty. Their music was to have a lasting impact on the young musician.
Liam O’Flynn
Master uilleann piper Liam O’Flynn is widely acknowledged as one of Ireland ‘s leading musicians. Whether with the hugely influential Planxty or fronting the National Symphony Orchestra, as a solo piper or playing alongside some of
the greats of traditional music like Seán Keane, Matt Molloy or Paddy Glackin, Liam is recognised as a true master of his craft.
An Crann Óg
