Cathal Hayden is one of the biggest names on the traditional music circuit to-day. His recordings, whether solo or in collaboration with the acclaimed Four Men and a Dog or Maritin O’Connor Trio, and more recently with Christy Moore, have become standard bearers for emerging musicians over the last twenty years. Described as one the foremost fiddle and Banjo players of his generation, his long-awaited debut banjo CD ‘Hooked on

Siobhan Long from the Irish Times described it as ‘a force to be reckoned with, complex and elegant in equal measure and a very fine snapshot of a musician in full swing’. Christy Moore shares a similar opinion – ‘a beautiful album with tunes carefully chosen to form a perfect mixture of old and new’.

In more recent times Stephen has performed as a guest with bands such as the Mairtin O’Connor Trio and Four Men and a Dog, before coming a full-time member of the ‘Dogs’
