Catherine McEvoy
Catherine McEvoy – Catherine was born in Birmingham in the 1950s after her Roscommon parents had moved there. Catherine played for many years with the Birmingham Ceili Band. She came to live in Ireland in 1977, and became a member of Macalla, the first all female traditional band. Catherine is also a member of the Tain Ceili Band, winning three All- Ireland titles with them. Catherine says that her flute playing influences have been John McKenna and Tom Morrisson, among others. She plays very much in the Sligo/Roscommon style, as her critically acclaimed solo CD “Flute Music in the Sligo/Roscommon Style” will testify. Catherine has recently released a superb duet album with her fiddle playing brother John, titled “ The Kilmore Fancy”.
