Mick Hoy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mick Hoy, singer, fiddler and storyteller, was born in Monea in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. He has lived most of his life in Blaney and played mainly in Derrygonnelly. His family are all musical but Mick had a huge repertoire of tunes and songs.
His singing style is subtle with beautiful use of glottal stops and variations in phrasing. One of the finest fiddlers of his generation, his powerful style is an interesting blend of Northern and Southern elements. He has a stock of distinctly local tunes, many of which he got from his old friend, the great flute-player, Eddie Duffy.
