Brian Conway was born in the Bronx to parents from County Tyrone, but has immersed himself thoroughly in the Sligo style of playing thanks to contact with fiddlers such as Lad O’Beirne, Andy McGann and Martin Wynne. His first album (with fellow fiddler Tony DeMarco), Apples in Winter, appeared as long ago as 1981 and Through the Round Window was actually recorded piecemeal from 1997 onwards. Many of the tunes will be familiar to anyone immersed in Michael Coleman’s recordings, but Brian brings his own innate zest and stylish bowing style to them.
His newest release is First Through the Gate recorded by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings and in 2006, he became a member of the Comhaltas Ceoltorian Eireann Hall of Fame.
The Craic Festival 2009 has invited FairplayCollective to play at this years Festival. All members will be playing in the round. The show is at The Mercury Lounge, March 14th at 8pm. This is the last night of the festival and Foy Vance is also on the bill.
What more can I say, a great night for music and film, with the odd star thrown in. Come show your support.

Brian, just a little posting to say that your tribute album to Andy McGann, together with Joe Burke, is magnificent. It really reminds me of Joe and Andy's recordings together. Wonderful music, mighty players! All the best, Rudy.
