Éilís Crean
Éilís Crean was a young fiddle player at a crossroads when Eddie Kelly took her under his wing — the late, great master of the East Galway tradition and the teacher who would shape everything that came after. Week after week at his side she learned not just his tunes but his way of hearing them: unhurried, warm, full of that lonesome East Galway lift. Her new book and album, Draíocht: And Then The Quiet, is her own account of those years and all they gave her – the music, the man and the quiet that comes after the last note.
