Mary Bergin – ‘Just about the best Tin Whistle player this century’ - the Irish Times. Mary was born into a very musical family and began playing at an early age winning many awards in Oireachtas and Fleadh Ceoil competitions, including the All-Ireland Championships at Junior and Senior level.

Mary’s first solo album ‘Feadóga Stáin’ brought out in 1979, holds its place as a classic in latter- day traditional music. Her second solo album in 1992 was referred to as having Biblical status among fans of Celtic music.

She has toured extensively in Europe, America and Australia, playing in concerts and festivals and holding workshops and seminars. She has also conducted masterclasses in many universities around the world.

In 1990, Mary, together with musicians Kathleen Loughnane and Dearbhaill Standun, formed the group ‘Dordan’ whose particular and distinctive mix of traditional Irish and European baroque music has achieved wide acclaim, receiving the National Entertainment Award for traditional music in 1993. Their many concerts and tours in Ireland and around the world included playing for Dignitaries at the request of Irish Presidents. Dordan have recorded 4 CDs.

In 2000, Mary herself won the prestigious ‘Traditional Musician of the Year' Award.

In March 2022, she was conferred with an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Literature by University College Dublin for her contribution to the arts.

Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy, honoured Mary for her lifelong contribution to Irish music in 2023.

Mary Bergin’s playing is a ‘dazzling combination of technique and passion’.
