Dia dhaoibh go léir ó Chontae Mhaigh Eo! My name is Kate, and I am a 27 year old harpist, violinist and pianist from Castlebar. I am very honoured to represent my beloved County Mayo in Tralee this year. Since graduating with a Masters in Music Composition from Ulster University, I have worked as a Classical Content Specialist for global music streaming platforms. At the age of 18 I was very fortunate to be able to combine my Undergraduate Degree in Music while touring the world as a musician. I am also very passionate about sharing my love of music with others: I teach music in both genres of Irish traditional and classical music. My family and I formed ‘Westport Scoil Cheoil’ a summer school dedicated to teaching Irish music and promoting Irish culture. As well as teaching music, I regularly host music radio programmes and volunteer as a musician and MC at charity concerts. Sport is another great passion of mine, and of course I am a loyal Mayo supporter! I am a qualified personal trainer and hiking is one of my favourite pastimes.
