About Bradon Smith
I have been playing folk fiddle for 30+ years. I am a classically trained violinist but grew up playing fiddle mainly in the English style; I now specialize in Irish fiddle.
I am a well known player on the Irish session scene in Bristol, Bath, London and further afield. I play regularly for ceilidhs across the UK, with a number of bands, including my own ceilidh band. I also play regularly as a solo fiddle player for functions, and with my band Shanvaghera, playing pure-drop traditional Irish instrumental music.
I am an experienced and trusted teacher of traditional folk fiddle with 2000+ hours of one-to-one experience. I have studied Teaching Traditional Music Song with Dr Liz Doherty, and am accredited by the Royal Irish Academy of Music.
