October 2 — Brian Conway
BRIAN CONWAY performs with a skill, grace, and force that are steeped in tradition but distinctively his own. He has won numerous All-Ireland fiddling competitions, and has been called one of the finest fiddlers of his generation. His fiddle students, including students in the Baltimore-Washington region, have won multiple local, regional, and All-Ireland championships. He is a leading exponent of the tastefully ornamented Sligo fiddling style made famous by the late Michael Coleman. The winner of two All-Ireland junior titles and the All-Ireland senior championship of 1986, Brian's early studies were with his father Jim of Plumbridge County Tyrone and with Limerick born fiddler/teacher Martin Mulvihill. However, it was the legendary fiddler and composer Martin Wynne who taught him the real secrets of the County Sligo style.
