At the moment I working on a variety of musical projects, including;

The TRADITION CLUB. with Kevin Conneff, Paul McGrattan & Gilles le Bigot (see February)

The line-up features multi grammy award winner Kevin Conneff of The Chieftains on vocals and bodhrán, Dubliner Paul McGrattan (The Frost is all over, Keelwest, Beginish .....) on flute, Dundalk maestro Gerry O'Connor on fiddle (Lá Lugh, Skylark, Journeyman ......) and Breton guitar virtuoso Gilles le Bigot (Skolvan, Barzaz, Empreintes....) on guitar and tambura.

The Band's repertoire comprises traditional music and song from Ireland and Brittany with some Scottish material added for good measure.

"The Tradition Club" , based in Slattery's bar, Capel Street Dublin, was the mecca for Traditional music lovers during the 1970's and 80's. Paul, Kevin and Gerry spent many nights both as performers and also as listeners here in the company of Ireland's finest musicians and singers.

Whilst juggling with the busy individual touring schedules, the band are currentlyrecording on their debut album, due for release in Spring 2010.

Trio CATHAL McCONNELL, GERRY O'CONNOR & GILLES Le BIGO Music and song from Ireland, Brittany and Scotland.. see February

Duo; DONAL O'CONNOR & GERRY O'CONNOR
Fiddles and Piano (see September)

In a review of a recent gig, ROB ADAMS in The Herald said: "O'Connor's touch, subtlety of tonal variation, richness of phrasing and melodic vigor are marvelous and he has the ability that comes with true greatness where he appears
to be doing very little when the music’s really moving, in both the pace and emotional senses. What’s more, he has passed his skills onto his son, Dónal. When father and son play fiddle together it’s like identical twins, and even when Dónal accompanies Gerry on electric piano there’s an obvious
understanding between them"
