Event
Paddy Keenan
Born in Trim, Co. Meath, to a Travelling family steeped in traditional music; both Paddy's father and grandfather were uilleann pipers. Paddy himself took up the pipes at the age of ten, playing his first major concert at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin, when he was 14. Paddy's flowing, open-fingered style of playing can be traced directly from the style of such great Travelling pipers as Johnny Doran. Although often compared to Doran, Paddy was 19 or 20 when he first heard a tape of Doran's playing; his own style is a direct result of his father's tutelage and influence. NOTE: in this visit to Focal Point, Paddy will be accompanied by St Louis heroes Eileen Gannon on harp, and Andrew O'Brien on fiddle!
