Description
Leitrim fiddler player, Maurice Lennon, releases his first solo fiddle album. Keeping the tradition alive with his new album, 'The Little Ones'
The Lennon family is well-known amongst lovers of Irish music. Maurice's father, Ben Lennon, is well-known as a master of the Leitrim style of traditional fiddle, and his uncle, Charlie Lennon is renowned as a composer, piano accompanist and fiddler. Maurice showed that this musical legacy had been passed on to him when, at age nineteen, he became the youngest person to win the Senior Fiddle Championship at the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil, held in Ennis in 1977.
Shortly after this he joined with three other All-Ireland Champions to form the band Stockton's Wing, with whom he composed, recorded and performed for the next twenty-seven years.
