About the tutor - Oisín Mac Diarmada
Founder of the internationally-renowned group Téada, Oisín is also a regular solo performer. Described by The Irish Echo's Earle Hitchner as "one of the most gifted and creative traditional fiddlers playing today" Oisín toured for 14 years with noted singer/accordion-player Séamus Begley and more recently with Samantha Harvey (piano/dance). Oisín was appointed Director of SCT, the Traditional Irish Music Examination System administered by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, during 2012, and in 2017 co-authored ‘Fiddlers of Sligo Tunebook’ along with fellow-Sligo musician, Daithí Gormley. During 2024, Oisín released the album - Lane to the Glen - as part of a new trio project with Daithí Gormley and Samantha Harvey, touring the US extensively during 2025.
