ULTAN O’BRIEN

Ultan O’Brien is a fiddle player and composer from County Clare whose work is rooted in the rich traditions of Irish music while reaching boldly into sound art and experimental practice. Equally at home tearing through jigs and reels in sessions across Ireland or exploring the possibilities of improvisation and contemporary sound, he moves effortlessly between pubs, concert spaces and more unexpected settings. Drawing on a deep inherited tradition and an inquisitive, forward-looking sensibility, O’Brien brings a fresh, vital voice to Irish music—honouring its history while subtly reshaping it for the present.
