PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
Irish fiddle player, Zoë Conway, is a prodigious talent, equally at home in both traditional Irish and classical styles. Her list of achievements belies her youthful age as Zoë has performed across the globe, both as a solo artist and also playing with international acts such as Riverdance, Damien Rice, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Nick Cave and Lou Reed among others. She is a holder of the much coveted All-Ireland Senior Fiddle Champion title, winning the prestigious competition in 2001. She was also recently voted Best Traditional Female of the Year in Irish Music Magazine. Zoë is increasingly in demand as a tutor, regularly giving workshops and lectures on the merits of classical and traditional music on the violin. She has performed at festivals such as Glastonbury, L'Orient, Tonder and Womad and has also performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world including The National Concert Hall, Dublin; The Kremlin, Russia; The Kennedy Centre, Washington; The Broadway Gershwin Theatre, Carnegie Hall, New York.
Zoe has been touring with guitarist, John McIntyre for the past year. John is a member of the well known rock band The Revs. He has toured worldwide with the band and has performed at festivals including Oxygen, Slane, Reading and Rockpalast. As a result of playing with The Revs, John was voted "Best Musician of the Year" in a readers poll in Hotpress Magazine.
For their Autumn tour, they will perform in Galway, Limerick, Donegal, Letterkenny, Drogheda, Dundalk, Bray, Cork, Waterford and Dublin.

Wow, she's an excellent Violinist. I play classical violin myself, but nothing Irish- sounding like this. This is a pleasure to listen to!

It's not Irish. It's a jazz standard recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass [sic] Band in 1917.
