The National Concert Hall and The Arts Council are pleased to announce celebrated traditional musician and piper Louise Mulcahy as this year’s recipient of The Liam O’Flynn Award for 2022.
An internationally renowned performer and tutor on both uilleann pipes and flute from Co. Limerick, Louise will enjoy a period of artistic reflection and creation in residence at the National Concert Hall and will receive an award bursary of €15,000.
