Concert & Workshops
Colm Broderick (County Carlow, Ireland) and Patrick Finley (Atlanta, Georgia) have created a wonderful partnership in Irish traditional music.Colm is a multiple All-Ireland champion piper and was selected by Na Píobairí Uilleann as the inheritor of Liam Ó Floinn’s pipes, on Liam’s death in 2018. Having recently been awarded the Gold medal at the Seán O’Riada Bonn Oir competition in Baile Mhuirne, Co. Cork, Colm was invited to a private reception in Áras an Uachtaráin hosted by the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins. While here Colm performed a private concert for the president.
Patrick, a multiple All-Ireland champion fiddler, plays with a unique style with influences from Sligo and Clare music. Patrick began playing the fiddle at the age of four, joining the Atlanta Irish Music School, and eventually studying with Sligo fiddler Oisín Mac Diarmada. Patrick is also an experienced music teacher, having co-founded the Phoenix School of Irish Arts in Atlanta, teaching Irish music on a variety of instruments.
Together, Colm and Patrick focus on creating a refreshingly traditional style of music on the pipes and fiddle.

Sunday June 5th, 4:30pm CT @ Lakeside St Coffee House402 W Lakeside St, Madison, WI 53715Patrick will teach a tune, taking it apart to examine elements like variations, ornamentation, rhythm, and tone. More time will be spent on exploring the tune and thinking about different interpretations of it, and less on learning and perfecting the tune itself. All skill levels are welcome, but some familiarity with the instrument, as well as being able to play a few tunes, is recommended. This workshop is geared to teens and adults, age 13 and up.
Sunday June 5th, 4:30pm CT @ Lakeside St Coffee House402 W Lakeside St, Madison, WI 53715Colm will teach a tune or two, primarily aimed at uilleann pipers, but whistle and flute players are more than welcome. Colm is also happy to talk about the incredible Rowsome pipes during this workshop. All skill levels are encouraged to take part, although the workshop will be primarily aimed at students who have some proficiency playing tunes already.
