Accordion workshop with Josephine Marsh

Josephine comes from a musical east Clare/Co Meath family and began to play the accordion at the age of seven and cites her father Paddy as her earliest musical influence. From a very young age she began to perform on radio and television and recorded her first album with Cyril O’ Donoghue at the age of twenty. Since then she has gone on to record three more albums: ‘Josephine Marsh’, ‘I Can Hear You Smiling’, with her band (The Josephine Marsh Band) and her latest release in 2018 – ‘Music in the Frame’. 

In 2020 Josephine was honoured with the prestigious Gradam Ceoil Award for composer of the year. Josephine and Laoise Kelly collaborated with Clare fiddler, Tara Breen and Cork singer and musician, Nell Ní Chróinín in the Music Network Ireland’s 2019 tour of Ireland and London.
