Banjo and Fiddle Master Cathal Hayden

Event Rating:
Sweet sounds of an Irish Soul
Join us October the 11th to enjoy the music of Cathal Hayden. Doors will open @6:30pm for socializing. And the music will begin @7pm.


Cathal Sean Hayden was born on 13 July 1963, in the village of the Rock, Co Tyrone outside Pomeroy, an area immersed in traditional music. The third in the family of eight, he was born into a deep musical background. His father played the banjo and fiddle, and his mother was a pianist, while both grandfathers were fiddle players. His first instrument was a tenor banjo before since progressed onto fiddle.

As a musician who has been involved in the release of many albums; both as a solo artist and a member of "Four Men and a Dog", as well as his contribution to other artists’ albums, he remains happy in the knowledge that he has helped bring Irish Traditional Music to a worldwide stage, making it more popular than ever before. Throughout his long association with the Irish Traditional Music, he has earned admiration from all sectors and created an excitement and vitality never seen before in our rich and ancient heritage. A quiet an unassuming character, Cathal Hayden should be immensely proud of his contribution to Irish music. Through his virtuoso playing he has become an ambassador for fiddle and banjo players for the country as a whole.
