Hi there, I'm Bernadette Nic Gabhann. I come from a musical family in County Meath, in the east of Ireland. I learned to play at home from my Dad, Antóin Mac Gabhann. I now perform & teach at music events  worldwide. 
I grew up with a great bunch of musicians in Co. Meath. We played mostly Reels & Jigs, with a few Hornpipes, Barndances & O'Carolan Marches. I participated in many Fleadhanna Cheoil in my youth ; solo, duet, Grupaí Cheoil & Céilí Band.
I then started travelling the world playing fiddle & promoting Irish Arts. I toured as Fiddle player with Troupe 2 of  ‘Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance’. We toured through many US towns, and also to Alaska & South Korea. I also performed with Gaelforce Dance, which toured Eastern Europe and Taiwan, and I spent a summer in Busch Gardens, Virginia with Irish Thunder. I lived in Nashville for a little while then , before moving back to Ireland. 
In recent years, I recorded & performed with my friends in NicGaviskey. This group formed after a great nights music at The Catskills Irish Arts Weeks in East Durham, upstate New York.
I have met & made great friends through my years in the music & when in St Louis in the summer of 2016, I sat down with my friend Eileen Gannon & played a few reels. That was the start of this CD. Eileen is a great harpist & accompanies me on all tracks on this CD.

I now live in Ireland, where I perform regularly. I also teach in person & online. Please email me, or all Up to date news will be on my Instagram, Facebook, YouTube... Also Click over to listen to clips or buy my new CD.
