Gerry O'Connor

Gerry O'Connor is an esteemed Irish fiddle player renowned for his mastery and deep understanding of the traditional music of Ireland. Born into a family with a strong heritage of music and craft in Dundalk, County Louth, Gerry has dedicated his life to honing a style that is both intricately traditional and unmistakably his own. Throughout his career, he has not only excelled in solo performances but has also been a vital member of legendary groups such as Skylark, La Lugh, and the Irish Baroque Orchestra, contributing greatly to the vibrancy of the Irish folk music scene.

With a discography that testifies to his prolific nature as a musician, Gerry's recent releases like "Cosa Gan Bhróga" and "Myriad" showcase his virtuosity and versatility. The album "Cosa Gan Bhróga" dives deep into the well of Irish tradition, featuring a mixture of both lively and haunting tunes that resonate with the very soul of Celtic music. On the other hand, "Myriad" stands as a testament to his adaptability, weaving contemporary and traditional influences into a rich tapestry of sound. "Time to Time," another notable release, illustrates Gerry's fluency in narrative through music, sliding effortlessly from rhythmically intricate jigs and reels to the poignant storytelling of slower airs. His music is not just a mere reflection of traditional Irish music, but an ongoing conversation with it, as he continues to shape its evolution with each bow stroke.
