Niall Toner

Bluegrass

As part of a Radio interview in the mid-eighties, Ken Stewart of RTE Radio One asked me a question about the greatest gifts I had received from my parents, and I said that I thought they were the gift of music, and a sense of curiousity about it’s roots and origins. This was particularly true when I was introduced to Bluegrass and Country Music around the time of my 11th birthday. Combined with the gift of a Harmony Acoustic Guitar and an overdose of Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family and the wonderful Bill Monroe, I was hooked. I destined to spend most of my time learning about this particular genre, as a player, singer, song-writer, musician, band leader and radio presenter.
