Fiachra (Harp, Flute) and Mossie (Fiddle, Whistle) both grew up just outside the village of Keadue in north Co. Roscommon in the northwest of Ireland. The bones of Ireland's greatest bard and composer, Turlough O'Carolan (1670 - 1738), are resting in the ruins of Kilronan Abbey which is also just outside Keadue. His legacy is celebrated in the village every August during the O'Carolan Harp Festival and Fiachra and Mossie are enjoying learning and sharing his music, his history and his stories.
