Since moving to Galway in 2005, I have been collaborating with five-string banjo virtuoso Lena Ullman, mostly in a live performance capacity. Our long musical companionship is vital due to us meeting and resonating in our approach to the two musical styles so dear to our hearts (Irish traditional and American old-time). Some high-lights of the many concerts and sessions Lena and myself have played over the years are: The Westport Bluegrass Festival 2015 (https://youtu.be/e8exM2a-riA),   The Galway International Arts Festival 2012 (https://youtu.be/llwIv4gdgdI), The Temple Bar Tradfest 2010 (https://youtu.be/MErRbUXW-KA),Féile Chois Cuain, Louisburgh, Co. Mayo 2013, The Stirling Music Festival, Scotland 2012, The Galway Sessions Festival and The Galway Americana Festival. We both have seperately released critically acclaimed solo albums and are now looking to bring to fruition a decade of playing together in form of a common recording project. Please read more about my CD Feileacán na Saoirse  here.  Lena Ullman’s CD Skating across the Baltic received a five-star review in the English Folk Roots Magazine and Martin Hayes esteems it “a real gem.”
