Timeline

1946

His father and his uncle Paddy Canny, also an influential fiddler, were among the founders of the Tulla Céilí Band in 1946.

Martin Hayes (born 4 July 1962) is an Irish fiddler from County Clare.

He is a member of the Irish-American supergroup The Gloaming.

Hayes was born into a musical family in Maghera, a townland in the parish of Killanena in East County Clare, Ireland.

His father, P.J. Hayes, was a noted fiddle player and his grandmother played the concertina.

1980

In the late 1980s he led a band called the "Celtic Aires".

1981

He is one of only three fiddlers ever to be named All-Ireland Fiddle Champion in the senior division in two consecutive years (1981 and 1982).

He joined the Tulla Céilí Band as a teenager and played in the band for seven years.

1985

Hayes moved to Chicago in 1985 and became active in the Irish traditional music scene there.

He was a regular performer at weekly jam sessions along with Chicago fiddler Liz Carroll, who later described him as belonging to "that very narrow set of performers from any musical genre – not just Irish – whose every note is perfect".

To make a living he worked in bars playing in a variety of genres including "rebel music, and songs and stage Irish humor in clubs, and all kinds of things".

1989

In 1989 he and the Chicago guitarist Dennis Cahill formed "Midnight Court", which combined traditional Irish and rock music.

1992

1996

In 1996 Hayes formed an acoustic duo with Dennis Cahill, developing an "unrushed, lyrical, highly expressive interpretation" of traditional Irish music.

1999

In 1999 a New York Times reviewer described Hayes and Cahill's approach as "stripping old reels and jigs to their essence, leaving space between the notes for harmonics and whispered blue notes," resulting in "a Celtic complement to Steve Reich's quartets or Miles Davis's Sketches of Spain. " Hayes and Cahill have released three recordings on the Green Linnet label: The Lonesome Touch (1997), Live in Seattle (1999), and Welcome Here Again (2008).
