Cormac Mac Dermott

Cormac Mac Dermott, Irish musician, died February 1618.

Mac Dermott may have been a native of Moylurg, whose ruling family were the Mac Diarmata (Mac Dermott) clan.

In 1605, he was appointed to the Royal Musick, the first harper since the death of Blind William More in 1565. He was succeeded on his death by Phillip Squire.
