BIOGRAPHY
Is ceoltóir agus amhránaí mé, a thug tamall leis an ngrúpa ceoil traidisiúnta Danú. Tá cúlra agam i léiritheoireacht teilifíse agus chaith mé roinnt bhlianta ag obair mar mhaor fuaime agus mar eagarthóir/stiúrthóir leis an gcomhlacht teilifíse Nemeton Teo. Bhain mé céim sa Léann Dúchais agus sa Ghaeilge ó COC sa bhliain 2006 agus cáilíocht mhúinteoireachta an bhliain dar gceann. Chaith mé seal ag obair mar mhúinteoir meánscoile, sarar fhilleas an athuair ar Roinn an Bhéaloidis, mar a bhfuil tráchtas dochtúireachta á scríobh agam, fén nDr Stiofán Ó Cadhla, ar ghnéithe de thraidisiún amhránaíochta na nDéise. Táim ar dhuine d'eagarthóirí Béascna, Iris Bhéaloideasa agus Eitneolaíochta COC, ó 2008 i leith. I am a musician and singer, who has travelled extensively in the past with the Irish traditional music group, Danú. I have a background in television production and worked for a number of years as a sound technician and as editor/director with the TV production company Nemeton Teo. I graduated from UCC in 2006 with a degree in Gaeilge and Léann Dúchais. Having completed the PGDE in 2007, also in UCC, and after a brief period teaching at second level, I returned to UCC and Roinn an Bhéaloidis/the Dept. of Folklore and Ethnology, where I am currently working on a doctoral thesis, under the guidance of Dr Stiofán Ó Cadhla, concerning aspects of the song tradition of my native county of Waterford, and where I am currently lecturing on the Béaloideas and Folklore programmes. I have co-edited Béascna, UCC Journal of Folklore and Ethnology, since 2008. |
Research Interests
Tá suim á cur le fada agam i dtraidisiún amhránaíochta na hÉireann agus go háirithe san amhránaíocht mar a chleachtaítí agus mar a chleactaítear fós sna Déise í. Tá tráchtas dochtúireachta á scríobh fé láthair agam ina bhfuil ceisteanna mar le seachadadh agus sealbhú na n-amhrán i measc an phobail ar bhonn stóir, aithrise agus stíle á gcíoradh agam; bronnadh scoláireacht ón IRCHSS orm i 2009 don obair seo. I 2009, leis, chuireas in eagar agus mhúineas modúl nua dar teideal 'An tAmhrán mar Ealaín Béil' do Roinn an Bhéaloidis, COC, a bhí bunaithe, cuid mhaith, ar an taighde atá déanta agam féin sa ghort seo.
I have long held an interest in the Irish song tradition and in particular that of the Déise area. My doctoral thesis involves an ethnographic study of the song tradition of the Waterford Gaeltacht: song transmission and acquisition within the community are being examined with regard to repertoire, performance and style through extensive archival and field research; I received a scholarship from the IRCHSS in 2009 to facilitate this work. Also in 2009, I co-ordinated and taught a module entitled 'An tAmhrán mar Ealaín Béil' (or 'song as oral art') for Roinn an Bhéaloidis/the Dept. of Folklore and Ethnology, UCC, which was largely based on my own research in this field to date.
