Martin Hayes is regarded as one of the most extraordinary talents to emerge in the world of Irish traditional music. His unique sound, his mastery of the fiddle and his acknowledgement of the past and his shaping of the future of the music, combine to create an astonishing and formidable artistic intelligence. His latest performing project is with The Gloaming, a band which has burst on the music scene.

He is joined by master guitarist, Dennis Cahill, a native of Chicago born to parents from the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. When Martin reclaimed his traditional roots, reinvigorated, and after recording two solo albums, he began a new musical relationship with Cahill, beginning with the lyrical music of East Clare.
