Derek Byrne - Singer Songwriter
My music is Celtic Bluegrass with a world beat. My songs are inspired by the love of my wife and children and my love for Ireland. 
I toured the world with Riverdance as a singer and percussionist for 6 years. After 4 years with my Irish Band "Eidir", I am now a solo solo artist. The show has evolved. Irish Dancer, Sean Beglan, is now a regular feature. All the old Celtic folk songs are still there, just given a new energy. I play bodhran, cajon, bones, spoons, shekere, shakers, riq and the klong yao. The beats are looped live and acoustic with no drum machines, then layered with five string banjo and vocal harmonies to create a new tribal texture. Come see a show, I guarantee you'll find something new.


An sceal (the story)

Seize the Moment - It's here!

 My new CD is done and uploaded onto the music page. Have a listen! I wrote 10 of the tracks and played all the instruments throughout the recording. Sean Beglan's dancing is also featured.
