Chris Stout and Catriona McKay Lena Jonsson & Johana Juhola North Cregg.

Fiddlesticks was formed in the 1990s in the Music Dept at UCC by Liz Doherty, lecturer in traditional music at UCC (1994-2000).

Conceived as a new way for teaching and learning traditional music through performance, this innovative group was the first big traditional Irish fiddle ensemble. They also explored the music of Cape Breton, Scotland and Scandinavia and recorded one critically acclaimed album Racket in the Rectory.
