notes

Damian O'Braonain (Brennan)
Guitar, Vocals, Bodhran and Whistles.
Damian the youngest of ten was born in Belfast N.Ireland and even as a baby was noted for his ability to make sounds! These sounds were later refined as music by teachers at the Holy Child primary school who directed and greatly encouraged Damian to pursue his musical career. Damian started with the Tin Whistle under the guidance of teachers and then was mentored by the great Gogi McCullough (all Ireland Whistle Champion)
Damian then self taught himself the Bodhran and guitar with vocals coming later. Damian's stage persona is always entertaining laced with some hysterically funny and high energy performances.

Fiddle / Guitar / vocals
Sara was brought up in British Columbia Canada on the beautiful Sunshine coast, born to an Irish mother who played a huge part in encouraging Sara to pursue playing the violin. Her live performance debut started outside the liquor store in Sechelt (Sunshine Coast) where she entertained passersby’s with lively Irish fiddle tunes.
Although classically trained Sara has displayed a wide range of styles and is currently enjoying success as a Jazz student at the highly recognized Capilano College in North Vancouver. Prior to that Sara studied at the Vancouver Academy of music and also played with the Vancouver youth symphony orchestra.
This amazing fiddler continues to delight audiences with not only her abilities but with the true nature of her captivating stage presence, mischievous on stage humor and delightful smile that brings tremendous joy to each venue.
Sara Fitzpatrick is also an accomplished vocalist whose breath taking versions of Irish ballads render every audience speechless.
A must see!

  • Excellent Celtic Folk CD!
    author: Lea and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team

    "Dear Irish Boy" by Myphy's Lagh is a true Irish tune fest. The musicianship and production of the CD are both of high quality. The vocals, on the tracks that have vocals, are strong; Those by Damian will make the heart happy and those by Sara can bring a tear to the eye. The CD is filled with excellent violin work, which has a classical influence. Furthermore, the CD is filled with tasteful acoustic guitar work. Both the music and the lyrics are clear and well articulated. The mix of pensive and joyous songs is well suited for this genre and makes the CD even more enjoyable. Distinctive highlights of this CD include "My Dear Irish Boy," which features Sara's beautiful voice and "Irish Rover," with Damian's very fitting vocal style for this classic song. "Cod Liver Oil" is an example of the more humorous side of the CD. "The Raven" features impressively fast-moving violin work and Damian's strong traditional vocal style. If you enjoy the beauty of traditional Irish music, you will enjoy this CD.

  • Awesome
