Manus McGuire is an Irish fiddle player who has for many years been involved in performing, recording, teaching and in more recent times, composition.
He has recorded solo fiddle albums, duo fiddle albums with his brother Seamus, and a number of CDs with bands Buttons and Bows, Moving Cloud, Brock McGuire Band and Full Tilt.
He is honoured to have been voted “Male Irish Traditional Musician of the Year in the U.S” in 2006 by the Irish American News in Chicago.
In Australia, he has taught fiddle and performed concerts in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide. In January 2023 he taught fiddle at a pan Celtic summer school in Whangarei Heads New Zealand, and it was there he met NZ guitarist Adam Ogle with whom he performed on the main stage at the prestigious 50th Auckland Folk Festival.
Adam Ogle is an Auckland based multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, mandolin and bodhrán and a well respected singer. With an Irish musician for a mother, there was no option but to be immersed in the culture of the Celtic music scene from a young age.
For the March 2024 tour, Manus McGuire and Adam Ogle play folk festivals in Cobargo and the Blue Mountains as well as in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and venues throughout NSW, VIC and Tasmania. At the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, Sydney, they open for the Sharon Shannon Big Band as part of the Sydney St Patrick’s Day celebrations.
