This intimate performance of tunes and conversation provides an opportunity to spend time with a master of the Irish canon. Martin Hayes’ fiddle playing is rooted in the accent of East County Clare where he grew up playing with his father, the legendary P.J. Hayes, and the Tulla Ceili Band. “The message always coming to me from my father and lots of the finest musicians of County Clare was their idea of musical feeling," says Hayes. "Music had to have felt or it was nothing." Hayes’ 25-year musical partnership with American guitarist Dennis Cahill, renowned for its groundbreaking performances, has included three acclaimed recordings, numerous international tours, and special performances for President Obama. Hayes is also the founder of the Martin Hayes Quartet, the Common Ground Ensemble, and the Meteor Award-winning Irish-American supergroup, The Gloaming.
