Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh

Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh (born 1979) is a fiddler, born in Dublin, Ireland. He is known for developing a drone-based fiddle style heavily influenced by the uilleann pipes and the music of Sliabh Luachra. Ó Raghallaigh spent several summers working part- and full-time in the Irish Traditional Music Archives in Dublin, opening up a wealth of old recordings which influenced his repertoire and style. Together with uilleann piper Mick O'Brien, he recorded "Kitty Lie Over", named No.1 Traditional Album of 2003 by Earle Hitchner in the Irish Echo.
