Matt Cranitch has long been a highly regarded fiddle player, particularly in the Sliabh Luachra style. Matt is an authority on Sliabh Luachra music having researched and promoted this most unique style of music for many years. Singer and guitarist Tommy O’Sullivan completes the line-up. Hailed as one of the finest accompanists in the country, Tommy is also a renowned singer.

Thanks again Joyce fro bringing such great music to us"Vermonters"! Anyone who loves the music should consider moving up North. In the last few months we have heard June McCormack and Michael Rooney, Randal Bays and Roger Landes. Coming in March are Kevin Burke and Jerry Holland and on St. Paddy's Day - Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill! Plus we have snow and Mud Season.

After the Texas festival in early March Tommy O'Sullivan is heading out with Paddy Keenan to play concerts on the west coast, they're in Washington and Oregon and then down to northern california for about a week. So if you want to catch Tommy and Paddy watch Paddy's website and the listings should be up in a week or two...
