Enda Scahill is one of Ireland's most respected traditional musicians, widely regarded as a leading authority on the Irish tenor banjo.

That early passion would eventually carry him to the highest levels of competitive traditional music, earning him multiple All-Ireland titles and cementing his reputation as a player of exceptional technical ability and deep stylistic authenticity.
