Louise Mulcahy not only possesses incredible talent and musicianship, with her groundbreaking research work on women in uilleann piping receiving worldwide critical acclaim. She’s also a master of the tin whistle and the flute, and began playing at the age of five. She was thirteen when she took up the uilleann pipes, and has since become one of the leading players of what is a traditionally male-dominated instrument. Louise is also a primary school teacher in County Meath, and holds the honour of being the only person in the history of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann to have won four senior All-Ireland titles in one day.
