Contact Box Generated from http://myspacesupport.com Brian Conway was born in the Bronx to parents from County Tyrone, but has immersed himself thoroughly in the Sligo style of playing thanks to contact with fiddlers such as Lad O’Beirne, Andy McGann and Martin Wynne. His first album (with fellow fiddler Tony DeMarco), Apples in Winter, appeared as long ago as 1981 and Through the Round Window was actually recorded piecemeal from 1997 onwards. Many of the tunes will be familiar to anyone immersed in Michael Coleman’s recordings, but Brian brings his own innate zest and stylish bowing style to them.
His newest release is First Through the Gate recorded by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings and in 2006, he became a member of the Comhaltas Ceoltorian Eireann Hall of Fame.
