Gerry O’Connor grew up in Ireland, in the town of Dundalk, County Louth, in a family of musicians, dancers, and singers. From an early age, Gerry was involved Irish music and dance, winning numerous All Ireland titles between 1967 and 1973, in a range of formations including duet, trio, and four Céili Band titles. Focusing on the fluid and ornamented lyrical fiddle playing of the great Sligo masters, Gerry’s own background in step dancing translates into vibrant pulsating dance music for which he is noted. Today he is regarded as one of the great fiddle players of his generation.
