Classical, Folk and World
Irish fiddle player. Dearbhaill Standun was surrounded by music and song within her family and within her native Irish-speaking village of Spiddal in the Connemara Gaeltacht. This background is reflected in her deep insight into the great songs and airs of the sean-nos singing style evident in her playing. She has a wide musical background ranging from classical violin to traditional fiddle playing. One of the richest sources of influence for Dearbhaill was her friend, the master piper and folklorist, Seamus Ennis, who handed down to her a vast store of airs. Dearbhaill has a deep interest in ensuring that traditions are upheld and handed on. She has taught the fiddle for a number of years to the young people in the Spiddal area.
