Aidan Connely and Bryan O’Leary, fresh from Ireland,
Sunday, July 12th, 2026
The Groves of Gneeveguilla is a duet project by fiddle player Aidan Connolly and accordionist Bryan O’Leary centred on the traditional music of the Sliabh Luachra region in southwest Ireland. Their repertoire features polkas, slides, reels and jigs from musicians such as Denis Murphy, Julia Cliord and Johnny O’Leary, alongside rare tunes drawn from archival sources including the manuscripts of Pádraig O’Keee.
The duo perform regularly at concerts and festivals in Ireland and internationally, and are also active as teachers of traditional music through workshops, masterclasses and educational programmes. Their performances present the distinctive fiddle and accordion tradition of Sliabh Luachra, alongside stories and insights into the musicians who shaped the style.
Fiddle player Aidan Connolly and accordionist Bryan O’Leary are two leading performers of traditional Irish music.
Bryan O’Leary, a native of Tureencahill in County Kerry, is widely regarded as one of the leading accordion players of his generation and was named TG4 Young Musician of the
Year in 2015. He is the grandson of the legendary Sliabh Luachra accordion player Johnny O’Leary, and his playing continues a rich family tradition rooted in the distinctive repertoire of polkas and slides associated with the region.
Aidan Connolly, from Dublin, has received widespread acclaim for his distinctive fiddle playing and was nominated for Best Folk Instrumentalist at the RTÉ Folk Awards in 2022. He also performs the role of John Sheahan in the internationally touring stage showDubliners Encore. His recordings have received critical praise in publications such as The Irish Times and The Irish Echo.
Their album The Groves of Gneeveguilla, released on the Raelach Records label in late 2025, celebrates the music and musicians of Sliabh Luachra.
Both musicians are experienced educators and have been invited as guest teachers at institutions including the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance (University of Limerick) and University College Cork, and regularly teach at music festivals and workshops in Ireland and abroad.
