Colm Mac Con Iomaire grew up in Dublin in an Irish-speaking household, with a close connection to Galway’s Connemara Gaeltacht. Music was always part of his life, from sean nós singing to classical piano. These contrasting languages, places and music styles have left a mark on the fiddle player’s musical style playing with both rock bands and contemporary Irish music groups. As well as performing, the Dublin musician scores theatre, television and film soundtracks and produces his own solo work. Taking listeners on a journey, his solo offerings are rooted in old culture and acknowledge the value of creating space for the new.
