The fiddle player Paddy Cronin was born in the 1920's in Co. Kerry. He learned fiddle from Padraig O'Keefe, and is known for his style which
combines the Sligo and Sliabh Luacra styles, and his unusual tune settings.
He was awarded the Gradam Saoil (Lifetime Achievement Award) by TG4 in 2007 for his lfetime contribution to Irish music.
In the world of Irish traditional music, Paddy Cronin from Sliabh Luachra in the southwest of Ireland is regarded as one of the tradition's
exceptional fiddle players. Although his music exhibits many characteristics of the Sliabh Luachra tradition, it also has other elements and
features, primarily from the Sligo style. A pupil of Pádraig O'Keeffe (the “Sliabh Luachra Fiddle Master”), Cronin emigrated to Boston in 1949
and lived there for approximately forty years. Before he left Ireland, he had been familiar with the music of the Sligo masters, such as Michael
Coleman and James Morrison, who had gone to the United States many years before him. In Boston Paddy met and played with many of the
great Sligo musicians, and also had the opportunity to hear music in other styles, including that of Canadian musicians, whose use of piano
accompaniment he admired greatly.
