Maria O Connor

Musician in Residence
Catherine McEvoy

Catherine was born in Birmingham, both her parents
having emigrated there from Co. Roscommon.

Coming from a very musical family, she began to learn accordion at the age of thirteen and has been playing traditional music ever since. Catherine has played extensively around England and Ireland at Fleadhanna, Ceili's, Fleadh Cheoil and Oireachtas competitions over the years.

She came to live in Ireland in 1977 and became a member of Macalla, the first all female traditional band. She was a flute player in the Tain Ceili Band who won the much coveted “Three in a row” Senior Ceili Band competition at the All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil.

Catherine has featured on many traditional albums from solo releases to duets to compilations. She plays very much in the Sligo / Roscommon style. She is one of the leading flute players in Irish traditional music today, and one of the most popular and sought after teachers of that instrument.
