Dympna was born in Lissycasey in West Clare
in an area steeped in traditional music and song. Dympna is
very much part of the strong tradition of musicians that have
come from this area. From a very young age her parents encouraged
her musical talent. She attended the annual Willie Clancy
festival where she developed her own skills and style. Today
Dympna is widely acknowledged as one of Clare’s finest
concertina players and has been an established performer and
teacher of music for many years.
Bean chairdín is Dympna’s
long awaited first solo album. She is joined by such excellent
musicians as Willie Kelly on fiddle, Geraldine Cotter on
piano and Eoin O’Neill on bouzouki. On this album
Dympna brings to life traditional tunes with her own unique
gentle and traditional style.
