Diarmuid O'Brien

"The strong musical and singing tradition of West Limerick is well documented and respected the world over. It is from this background that Diarmuid’s music has been crafted. 'An old head on young shoulders,' conscious and respectful of the music of West Limerick, for here was the little ‘fatherland’ of trailblazers, Paddy Taylor (flute player and composer), Martin Mulvihill, (fiddle player and teacher), Con Greaney (singer), Patrick Ahern (fiddle player), and Tulla native, Seán Aerach Ó Seanacháin, author of the great drinking song ‘An Buachaill Caol Dubh’ Seo chughaibh anois, más ea, togha cheoil ós na scoth-cheoltóirí seo, Diarmuid agus a cháirde. Táimid cinnte go mbainfear taitneamh as a gcuid cheoil. Gura fada buan iad."--Nioclás Mac Amhlaoibh
