Martin Hayes

Fiddler

from County Cork, Ireland

 & most recently Connecticut

Martin Hayes plays extraordinary Irish fiddle in the tradition of his home region. I've seen Martin several times with guitarist, Dennis Cahill, and even once playing with his dad, the late P.J. Hayes, in an American tour of the Tulla Ceilidh Band. Nobody plays with quite the exquisite lonesome touch of Martin Hayes. This  photo was taken in March 2006 in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.
