Neil Fitzgibbon is a musician, composer and educator that has toured and shared stages with many musicians at home in Ireland and around the world. Based in Co Clare, he is a regular on the session scene on the west coast known as both a fiddle player and guitarist. He has recording credits alongside world renowned musicians and artists, both as a collaborator/session musician and creator. He also has extensive teaching experience from his work with the Music Generation youth project.
Although Neil is new to OAIM as a tutor, many of you will recognise him as he played with us at our very first virtual session in Cooley’s House, Ennistimon. Also, he has been ‘instrumental’ in the creation of our ‘play along backing tracks’!! Not only has he contributed tracks on the fiddle, but he also is a brilliant guitarist too, and many of these tracks feature Neil. We’re delighted to have him come out from backstage and take the tutor’s chair for his fabulous Easy Fiddle Favourites course.
