Cathy Maguire is a singer and songwriter who was born in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland on 11th of October, 1981. At a very young age she became known locally as a child star. She recorded her first album at the age of twelve and after several listeners' requests, she was invited by Gerry Ryan to perform a live set on his radio program. This sparked off a career that spanned numerous TV appearances^{[citation needed]} and 3 albums by the time she was 17.^[1][2]

After formal college education Maguire returned to the United States and went to work in Nashville, TN as a songwriter. She is due to release a new album entitled 'Portrait' on the 17th of April 2009. The album will be released by Celtic Collections, the label behind the phenomenally successful Celtic Woman. Maguire has just completed a tour of Ireland with The High Kings, who are also on the Celtic Collection label.

Maguire holds a BA Hons Degree in Music. She has embarked on a Masters by research which she will complete in 2010.

Gerry "Fiddle" O'Connor (born in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland) is a traditional Irish fiddle player.

His family has played fiddle for at least four generations and Gerry learned his music from his mother, Rose O'Connor, and also from hand-written manuscripts passed down through the family.

He later came under the influence of John Joe Gardiner, the great Sligo fiddle player, who lived in Dundalk for many years. Gerry's performances concentrate on long forgotten tunes from his home area in the North East of Ireland, many of which were recorded on his 2004 album, Journeyman.

In addition to his solo performances and recordings, O'Connor is a founding member of two bands: Skylark (who have recorded four albums) and La Lúgh (whose album Brighid's Kiss was voted album of the year in 1996 by readers of Irish Music Magazine).

Gerry is also an established fiddle repairer and he concentrates on this work when he is not touring. He now lectures in traditional Irish music at the Dundalk Institute of Technology and is regarded as one of the most disciplined and respected teachers within the faculty^{[citation needed]}. He has sometimes been confused with a banjo player of the same name, and hence adopted the name Gerry "Fiddle" O'Connor.
