As a competitive Irish dancer and certified T.C.R.G with An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha, Claire understands the important role a Feis musician holds for a dancer. With interest in training to be a Feis musician, she began shadowing at Feiseanna in 2014 under Brian Glynn and Jimmy Butke. Once she retired from competitive dancing, she began playing on her own at the Raleigh Feis, February 2018. Claire plays all sets, both traditional and non-traditional.
