She won nine All-Ireland fiddle championships, starred as the lead fiddler in Riverdance, and helped found the band Cherish the Ladies. In addition to her work with Immigrant Soul, the fiddler performs as a soloist with major symphony orchestras and appears as a guest with prominent musicians of many genres. Sponsors: John L.
