Colm MacConiomaire
Colm MacConiomaire was born into
an Irish-speaking musical family in Dublin in 1971. He started taking
classical violin lessons when he was only 6 years old and has learnt both
tradional and classical violin.
In 1985, Colm started a school
band along with fellow class mates Rossa and Eoin called Kila. They started
busking on Grafton Street and it was there that they met Glen Hansard of the
Frames. Colm then took a year off college and joined a band called The Frames
and that was the beginning....
Colm is currently playing with
the Swell Season, the band of Glen Hansard (of the Frames) and Marketa Irglova.
As a solo artist, Colm
released his debut album The Hares Corner. A beautifully warm and visual album
of instrumental songs. the Hares Corner highlights the reflective,
contemplative side of Colm Mac Con Iomaire, giving time and space for his
compositions to grow and develop i n a seductively enticing and cinematic way.
