Biography  

Éimear began playing the violin at the age of seven and went on to lead several orchestras, including one of the City of Belfast School of Music's orchestras and her university orchestra. She holds both a BMus (Hons) degree and a PGCE, and previously worked as a music teacher in the North West of England.

After teaching, she joined The Bogtrotters Band, performing extensively across the UK and Germany. The group was later invited to appear in Demi Moore’s film Half Light, where Éimear and two fellow band members can be seen performing Star of the County Down in the beach scene.

Following this, she toured with major Irish dance and music shows, including the Essence of Ireland tour, which performed prolifically across the UK, and Celtic Rhythms, which toured throughout Holland. In these productions, she performed as lead violinist and backing vocalist, and also featured as a singing soloist in each show.

As a composer and songwriter, her original music has been broadcast and praised on BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Foyle, and BBC Radio Lancashire. Her song “Tommy” reached the semi-finals of the UK Songwriting Contest. 

Eimear recorded the fiddle part for Bob the Builder’s song ‘Big Fish Little Fish’ (2005).  

Alongside her musical career, Éimear has also appeared on screen. She starred as the lead actress in the BBC Education Music and Drama short screenplay Cafe Society, written by Damian Gorman, and also presented the accompanying documentary. She also acted in a scene in the BBC NI series, ‘Home Truths’.

Now based in Northern Ireland, she performs at weddings, corporate events and private celebrations. Her performances combine the expressive warmth of the violin with both traditional and contemporary influences, creating elegant, atmospheric music for every occasion.
