Mícheál O'Rourke

Mícheál comes from a musical family and has been playing fiddle and piano from an early age. He began his musical studies on piano as a young boy and having proceeded through all grades on that instrument began to study fiddle under the excellent tutor Maureen Glynn-Connolly.

He has won Senior All Ireland titles on both piano and fiddle. He is a keen admirer of the piano style and the compositions of Charlie Lennon. He is greatly influenced by the fiddling styles of Andy McGann, Seamus Connolly and his neighbour Paddy Canny.
