Caoimhin O Raghallaigh

Is ceoltóir é Caoimhín, a sheineann an fhidil le deich sreang an ‘hardanger d’amore’, bíonn an domhan mór á shiúl aige i mbun ceoil ina aonair agus in aonacht le leithéidí Mick O’Brien agus Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich. Bíonn sé ag seinm leis le bannaí ‘The Gloaming’ agus ‘This is How We Fly’. Bíonn sé i mbun códála leis an fhidil beo ar stáitse chomh maith. Tá mórán stáitsí ar domhan feicithe ag Caoimhín, ina meas an Sydney Opera House, The Royal Albert Hall agus Camegie Hall. Tá seacht dtaifead déag eisithe aige go dtí seo. Baineann sé taitneamh as seana cheol traidisiúnta a sheinim in aonacht le bheith i mbun taisceolaíochta ar saol an nua-cheoil.

Caoimhín makes music on a 10-string fiddle called the hardanger d’amore , and travels the world as a solo musician, in duos with Dan Trueman, Mick O’Brien and Brendan Begley, and as a member of The Gloaming and This is How we Fly. He also uses live processing on stage, sending the sound of his fiddle through code he writes in a programming language called ChucK. Caoimhín has performed on some of the most beautiful stages in the world, including the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall, although some of his favourite performances have been much more intimate and ephemeral events. There are seventeen recordings to his name so far, ranging from quite traditional to fairly out there. Caoimhín enjoys both equally, playing the old music that he loves, and exploring the region where traditional music begins to disintegrate.
