Bríd O'Gorman (Flute), originally from Liscannor, began playing music when she was five years old. Her first
instrument was the tin whistle which she learned from Gus Tierney of the Kilfenora Céilí Band. She then moved on to the
timber flute and attended classes with Eammon Cotter of the Shaskeen Céilí Band. Bríd won many solo All-Ireland
competitions on the flute at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann as well as many All-Ireland duet and trio competitions with her
family, all of whom play music.
Bríd, a primary school teacher, is involved in the music scene in Co. Clare and is teaching music to children and adults
locally. She was also involved in the recording of a CD released by Mary Immaculate College of Education, Limerick, in
1998 to celebrate the centenary of the college. Bríd also took up playing classical flute recently and has completed exams
and been awarded a scholarship for this.
