Catriona Kennedy
Catriona Kennedy is a fiddle player from Co. Meath, Ireland, who has strong links to Donegal on both sides of her family. Catriona’s fiddle playing is deeply influenced by the traditional music of south-west Donegal, learning from renowned local players in the area since she was a child. She has performed at music festivals across Ireland and abroad as part of a duet with her sister, Sinéad, and many other traditional musicians. Catriona is also passionate about teaching and enjoys sharing her love for the instrument and its rich traditions with others. In the past year, Catriona has been involved in an exciting musical partnership between Cairdeas na bhFidiléirí (Donegal) and TUNES Music Makers (Beaver Island) to teach young fiddle players from Beaver Island online
