Liam O'Connor is one of the most talented and versatile musicians
of his generation. A proven master of 20 instruments he has a
thirst for creativity and a flair for the dramatic.
Bursting
out of County Cork, Liam O'Connor is not simply an Irish traditionalist,
he is an innovator, an explorer and a catalyst. He doesn't simply
stretch boundaries, he kicks them into touch. With his playing
he adds another dimension or two and when he is in communication
with his instrument he finds depths and subtleties which are rarely
even hinted at by other players.
He can take well known pieces and completely reinvent them.
He
can run his imagination over many genres of music and produce
shining gems of brilliance. In short, this is no journeyman, this
is a remarkable talent. What is even more amazing is that Liam
O'Connor comes to the listener without the narcissism and egotistical
baggage so beloved by lesser players. He's a genuinely nice guy.
