Fergal Scahill hails from Corofin, a small village in Co. Galway. Being one of the most talented musicians in the Irish music scene today, he is in great demand not only as a fiddle player but also as a guitar and bodhran player.

He comes from a very musical family, his brother Enda being one of the top banjo players in the country.

Fergal won the senior fiddle competition in the All Ireland Fleadh in 2002 which really boosted his career. He also has two All Ireland Bodhrán titles to his name.

Fergal has been playing music professionally since

leaving school and has performed with some legends of

Irish music including Frankie Gavin, Paul Brock, Kevin

Crawford and has toured extensively with many successful

young bands such as Teada, Ragús, Celtic Legends and The

David Munnelly Band. He also was a founding member of

upcoming band MONTO who are signed to the Universal

record label and is featured heavily on their debut

album due for release later this year.
