A masterful guitarist, Randal first garnered international attention on Green Linnet’s landmark recording with Irish fiddle phenomenon Martin Hayes. Rooted in both Irish and jazz traditions, as fiddler Randal is blessed with a wonderfully light touch on the bow and a rhythm and lift that bounces the tunes along without ever feeling hurried. He frequently appears with Dáithí Sproule, guitarist of the Irish supergroup Altan.
