Niamh Dunne is a highly accomplished singer, fiddler and composer from Co. Limerick, and has just released her debut solo song album,
"Portraits". With master guitar player and producer Seán Óg Graham,
Niamh's first song album is a mix of traditional songs and folk material with an emphasis on her home town of Limerick. She has been a member with the world renowned band Beoga for the last 7 years with whom she has toured extensively and recorded 3 CDs.
She began to play fiddle at the age of 4, and learned her music from
Mickey Dunne, the well-known piper from Limerick who is part of a rich cultural heritage of traveling musicians. For generations, the Dunne's traveled the country playing fiddles and pipes at any social events (football matches, markets days, fairs), and had a rich understanding of the musical traditions of Ireland that existed all over the country, especially at a time when there were no recordings and this was the only means of transmission.
