About Randal
| Randal Bays is an American born, Irish style fiddler who’s devoted many years to learning not just the tunes, but more importantly the feeling of Irish traditional music as handed down by so many great musicians and music lovers, past and present. Randal lives in Seattle and has been obsessed with Irish fiddle and guitar music for most of his life. He’s recorded and toured in the US, Ireland and Europe with Martin Hayes, Daithí Sproule James Kelly and many more. He’s a highly regarded teacher of Irish fiddle and is Artistic Director of Cascadia Irish Music Week. He has many excellent recordings, including his most recent, “Up The West”. “Randal Bays is one of the finest Irish fiddlers one could ever hope to hear.” – Fiddler Magazine “A commanding presence on the fiddle.” – The Irish Times “His playing has power and passion… simply a joy to listen to.” – Dirty Linen Magazine “Randal Bays is one of the few Americans to have mastered the complex art of traditional Irish fiddling.” – Dr. Gearoid O hAllmhurain (author of “A Pocket History of Irish Traditional Music”) “Bays is a rare beast, a true master of both fiddle and guitar.” – Cork Examiner (Ireland) “Randal’s apparently effortless command of both fiddle and guitar, his profound knowledge of the music, and impeccable taste and flair form, in my opinion, a combination unequalled in the field of Irish/Celtic music.” – Daithi Sproule (Altan) |
