TheOCarolanTrio

The O’Carolan Trio are masters of performing the music and telling the story of Ireland’s best known and internationally renowned composer, Turlough O’Carolan (1670 – 1738). Having grown up beside the ruins of Kilronan Abbey on the shores of Lough Meelagh in north Co. Roscommon, where Carolan’s remains are resting, they love performing and sharing his music, history and legends.

The wire-strung harper’s music continues to be learned, performed, arranged and recorded by musicians all over the world from every genre of music, including classical, jazz and folk / traditional. This universal appeal makes Carolan one of Ireland’s greatest composers. 

Equally at home in intimate spaces, ecclesiastical settings or festival stages, The O’Carolan Trio are Ellen Godley (cello, concertina), Mossie Martin (fiddle, whistle) and Fiachra Guihen (harp, flute).
