VINNIE KILDUFF: A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

From U2 to Sinead O Connor, The Waterboys to Clannad, the name Vinnie Kilduff has long been subtly synonymous with the cutting edge of contemporary Irish music. Equally comfortable playing a small session or a sold-out stadium, The genre-hopping, multi-instrumentalist from County Mayo has worked with practically all the big names. Raised on the wild and rugged west coast of Ireland, Vinnie’s childhood was steeped in music.
A virtuoso of the tin whistle at the age of six by his early teens he’d also mastered the guitar, piano, flute, uilleann pipes, mandolin, harmonica and various other instruments besides. His parents were also talented musicians, and Vinnie s youth was spent playing at sessions and a never-ending series of Irish Fleadh Ceols. However, his tastes were not solely confined to traditional music. He was listening to the Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Bob Marley, whatever. I just loved music full-stop.
