Traditional Irish Music
Aidan Connolly was born and reared in Rathfarnham in Dublin and has been playing the fiddle since the age of eight. Aidan absorbed much of the music of Sliabh Luachra through his mother Eileen Moynihan, a Co. Kerry native. From taking classes at the Craobh Naithí branch of CCÉ and from playing with his mother and uncle, Con Moynihan, also a fiddle player, Aidan quickly developed into a fine musician and began to be influenced by the recordings of fiddle masters Paddy Cronin, Paddy Canny and many others.
Part of a generation rich in traditional music talent, Aidan encountered several like-minded peers at music festivals throughout Ireland and this had (and continues to have) a big impact on his playing.
Fiddle players Aidan Connolly and John Daly present their first project together in the autumn of 2019. Away On Up The Road is a fresh and exciting new fiddle album containing a stunning array of rare and not-so-rare tunes from every corner of Ireland, supplemented by tunes from the Cape Breton and Shetland traditions.
Both physical and digital copies available.
