Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn



Tiarnán started playing the uilleann pipes when he was around nine years of age, so he has more than served his 21 year apprenticeship. He was attending whistle classes in The Armagh Pipers Club when he was moved into the Uilleann pipes classes. (For reasons of misdemeanor or boredom!! Who knows !!. Fate perhaps.) After some years with Brian, Tiarnán was then moved into Mark Donnelly’s class in the Armagh Pipers Club. Tiarnán is indebted to both for their time, patience and generosity with their music. Sadly Mark passed away tragically in 1998. Tiarnán was a member of a ceili band in Dundalk, Ceoltóirí Óga Oirghiall. He has been touring and performing on a regular basis since 1995. His music has taken him to Europe, United States, Canada, Japan, Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

Thosaigh Tiarnán ag seinm ar na piobaí nuair a bhi sé 9 mbliain d’aois. (Tá an tréimhse foghlama ar labhair Séamas Ennis fá dtaobh dó curtha de.) Bhí Tiarnán ag freastal ar ranganna fideoga nuair a cuireadh isteach sa rang phíobaireachta é. (as siocair é ag amaidí nó é a bheith díomhaoin: ní fios. Ba chor ina chinnúint é, cibé!) Thug Brian Vallely seit phíobai de chuid Robbie Hughes do Thiarnán.I ndiaidh cúpla bliain a chaitheamh le Brian bhí Mark Donnelly, nach maireann, mar mhúinteoir ag Tiarnán sa chlub. Tá sé go mór fé chomaoin acu beirt as a gcuid ama, a gcuid ceoil, agus a gcuid gcarthanacht ceoil a roinnt air go fial.Bhí Tiarnán mar bhall ar bhanna ceoil i nDún Dealgan ar feadh seal, darbh ainm Ceoltóirí Óga Oirghiall, grúpa a bhain cuid mhór ag na comórtaisí “Slógadh” ‘sna hochtóidí. Tá Tiarnán ag taisteal lena chuid ceoil go rialta ó bhí 1995 ann. I measc na n-áiteanna a thug sé cuairt orthu tá : An Eoraip, Stáit Aontaithe Meirceá, Ceanada, An tSeapáin, An Afraic, An Nua-Shéalainn agus an Astráil.
