Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh is an acclaimed Irish musician renowned for his distinctive approach to traditional Irish music, as well as his innovative use of the fiddle and the hardanger d'amore. His exploratory nature and profound command over his instruments have earned him not just a reputation among traditional music purists but also admiration from a broad spectrum of music enthusiasts across the world. Ó Raghallaigh is a member of the contemporary folk group The Gloaming, where his unique sound contributes to the ensemble's fresh and transfixing take on Irish music. With a rich solo career alongside collaborative projects, his work often bridges the gap between the deep roots of folk traditions and the avant-garde.

His body of work boasts an impressive array of solo and collaborative projects that exemplify his versatility and depth as an artist. Albums like "Music for an Elliptical Orbit" and "Where The One-eyed Man Is King" showcase his skill in creating atmospheric and emotionally resonant music, while "All Soundings Are True," a collaboration with uilleann piper Pádraic Keane, cements his status as a musician with a deep respect for the narratives embedded within traditional music. His recent work with New York pianist Thomas Bartlett on the self-titled album "Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh & Thomas Bartlett" has been praised for its introspective beauty and subtle interplay, further broadening his musical horizons and solidifying his role as both a guardian of traditional Irish music and an innovator unafraid to push its boundaries.
