Concertina workshop with Caitlín Nic Gabhann

Raised in a house full of music in Co.Meath, Caitlín Nic Gabhann learned most of her music from her father Antóin Mac Gabhann, a noted fiddler and fiddle teacher. Another great influence was Caitlín's concertina teacher, Meábh Ní Lochlainn. Caitlín's mother Bernie is immersed in the Clare set-dancing culture and she passed a love of this on to her children. 

Caitlín has performed with the RTÉ Vanbrugh Quartet, Paddy Keenan, Liam Ó Maonlaí, for Presidents and Royalty around the world. She is also an accomplished dancer and has toured the world with Riverdance. Writing tunes since the age of ten, her compositions have been performed in the Cork Opera House and The National Concert Hall, Dublin. She teaches concertina annually at summer and winter schools in Ireland, Europe and USA Her debut solo CD release, Caitlín was voted the 2012 'CD of the Year' award by tradconnect.com.
