Mick Conneely

Mick was born in Bedford, England, of Irish parents.
His father Mick comes from Errislannan, near Clifden, Co. Galway,
and his mother Lizzi came from near Newton Forbes, Co. Longford.
Mick senior is known as a fine traditional fiddle player as was his father
before him, Mairtin. The Conneely home in Bedford was always full of great music
and this environment helped shape Mick's early musical sensibilities.
Like many a London area Irish musician, Mick began formal lessons in Irish music
at the age of eleven with the legendary Clare musician and teacher and teacher, Brendan Mulkere.
