Rugadh agus tógadh Eva Carroll i bhFiacail, i gContae an Chláir Thoir.  B’iad na ceachtanna a bhfuair sí ón gceoltóir áitiúil Mary McNamara a bhí mar thús dá saol ceoil. Fuair sí an stíl socair rithimiúil, atá sonrach den taobh thoir den chontae, ó Mhary. Is iad Mary agus Cormac Begley na seinnteoirí consairtín is mó a chuaigh i bhfeidhm uirthi. Agus í ag fás aníos, bhíodh sí i mbun ceoil go rialta lena deirfiúr Rosa. Tá sí lonnaithe anois i mBaile Átha Cliath, áit a mbíonn sí ag seinm le go leor ceoltóirí iontacha. Sheinn Eva ag an bhféile ceoil áitiúil i bhFiacail agus ag féilte eile i gContae an Chláir. Thaistil sí fud fad na tíre agus níos faide i gcéin leis an gceol. Sa tSualainn, bhí sí ag tabhairt ceachtanna agus ag seinm ag an bhféile Glenntown agus sa Fhrainc, sheinn sí ag an Bègles Cod Festival.

Eva Carroll comes from Feakle in East Clare. Her musical life began when she started learning the concertina from local concertina player Mary McNamara from Tulla. It was from Mary that she picked up the typical laidback and swingy style of East Clare. Growing up, Eva regularly played music with her sister Rosa. She now lives in Dublin where she has met some great musicians who she plays and collaborates with regularly. Some of her biggest influences are her teacher Mary McNamara and Cormac Begley. She has played at her local Feakle festival and other festivals around Clare. Her concertina has brought her up and down the country and further afield – to Sweden , where she taught and performed at the Glenntown Irish music festival and to France where she played at the Bègles Cod Festival.
