About Leo: Leo hails from Scariff, a town on the shores of Lough Derg in the eastern part of County Clare. It’s an area steeped in Irish traditional music and is considered by many as the heart and home of the music. The style Leo plays is rooted in East Clare but incorporates elements of the flute styles of Roscommon and Sligo, with a strong focus on the rhythm of the music. Leo started playing tin whistle when he was six years old, listened to the Bothy Band when he was eight, and moved on to the flute at age ten. He grew up knowing and playing with such great musicians as P.J. Hayes, Paddy Canny, Martin Woods, Martin Rochford, Peadar O’Loughlin, Christy Barry, and Martin Hayes.

In April 2009, Leo played with the All-Star Clare Ceili Band at the Comhaltas North American Convention in St. Louis. Leo plays regularly at Paddy Coyne’s Irish Pub in Seattle, Tacoma, & Bellevue and teaches flute & whistle in the Seattle area. He plays Copeland whistles and Peter Noy flutes in a range of different keys.
