About us

Eithne Egan.
Eithne has come from an Irish Traditional music background, which has been strongly influenced by her father, the late Martin Mc Cabe, former President of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Eireann. From an early age she developed an interest in the Uilleann Pipes, began tuition with Brian Vallely, and became a member of the Armagh pipers club. She has a diploma in teaching traditional Irish music and became an accomplished adjudicator at many fleadh cheoil and other music competitions. She has performed on RTE television music programmes, such as SBB ína Shuí, Trom agus Adrom and The RTE Sunday morning Mass. She has performed at ‘An tAifreann’, accompanied by well-known musicians and singers such as Cristoir Kearney, Séamus Mac Mathùna, Màire Ní Ghràda and Ann Mulqueen. It was from this that she grew a love for performing and creates a magical sound playing Uilleann pipes in the church.

Ciara Egan.
Ciara began playing piano from a young age, and originally began learning classical music but felt her passion was in Irish traditional music. She has achieved grades in both styles of piano playing. This led her to the University of Limerick, where she studied for her Batchelor Of Arts Degree, in ‘Irish Music and Dance’. Throughout her studies she was tutored by well known Traditional Irish piano players such as Geraldine Cotter, Patsy Broderick, Charlie Lennon, Caoimhín Vallely and has undergone several workshops with Michael O Suilleabhain. She holds a strong passion for music and is an accomplished pianist and accompanist. Ciara has an amazing ear and natural talent for music, which she uses to create the most beautiful piano arrangements for virtually any piece of music.
