Michael Gorman (musician)

Michael Gorman (1895–1970) was an Irish fiddler (from County Sligo), often partnering Margaret Barry. He has been described as "one of traditional music's few superstars of the post-War decades" and one whose "musical roots in Ireland can be identified back to the artisan musicians in the immediate aftermath of the famine, and he was an active musician from about 1906 until 1970."
