This is Damien McGeehan.
Groundbreaking IrIsh fiddle player Damien McGeehan is one of Ireland’s most exciting contemporary traditional musicians. But McGeehan is a whole lot more than simply a ‘trad’ player. He is a modern folk alchemist, pulling the heart of traditional Irish music into the sonic worlds of blues, jazz, folk, and indeed his very own ethereal musical cosmos. McGeehan is born of the rural Irish landscape, of the mystical Celtic air, of a deeply ingrained Gaelic folk tradition.
A Uniquely Irish Live Performance.
With his trailblazing arrangements, Damien McGeehan has perhaps single-handedly transformed the very DNA of modern Irish fiddle playing. But modifying an ages-old tradition comes with great responsibility; and Damien has delivered in spades, carefully crafting a Celtic soundscape for the ages, which he brings enigmatically to life in the live arena.

Recording Traditional Music for the 21st Century. And Beyond.
Damien McGeehan burst onto the Irish trad landscape as part of the pioneering trio Fidil. Their debut was the first ever traditional music album to receive a 5-star review in The Irish Times. With his debut solo album, The Tin Fidil, Damien explored in depth the musical heritage of his home county of Donegal. And then came KIN; with this critically-acclaimed album, McGeehan has laid down a marker in Ireland – and worldwide – as a contemporary trad force to be reckoned with.
