PADDY KEENAN AND TOMMY O'SULLIVAN   

Paddy Keenan was born in Trim, Co. Meath, to John Keenan, Sr. of Westmeath and the former Mary Bravender of Co. Cavan. The Keenans were a Travelling family steeped in traditional music; both Paddy's father and grandfather were Uilleann Pipers. Paddy was one of The Bothy Band's founding members, and his virtuosity on the pipes combined with the ferocity of his playing made him, in the opinion of many, its driving force. Bothy Band-mate Donal Lunny once described Paddy as "the Jimi Hendrix of the pipes".

Acclaimed as “one of the great contemporary folk voices of Ireland”, Tommy O’Sullivan, “stellar guitarist”, has remained one of the hidden treasures of traditional Irish music for many years. He has toured throughout North America and Europe, appearing at many major venues and festivals. He has always kept an active recording schedule having recorded three albums as a member of Sliabh Notes and a duet album with Paddy Keenan.
