Conway is the winner of multiple All-Ireland titles: he has taken the traditional fiddle style he learned from Andy McGann (who himself learned from Michael Coleman) to new heights. Conway has continued this chain in teaching many students, including Maeve Flanagan, Dylan Foley, Haley Richardson, and Jayne and Bram Pomplas. He has also recorded a great number of albums including the stellar solo CDs, "First Through the Gate," "A Tribute to Andy McGann," and "Consider the Source."
Egan, from Tipperary, Ireland, began singing and playing the guitar at an early age and took lessons from Phil Kelly at the National School. He later moved to Westport, County Mayo and became a force on the session scene, playing seven nights a week and recording on the classic "Live from Matt Molloy's." He has been a longtime member of the band Chulrua with Paddy O'Brien and Patrick Ourceau, and has recorded and toured the world with a number of other Irish and old-time musicians.
Both Conway and Egan are frequent instructors at Irish Music camps and festivals, including the long-running Catskills Irish Arts Week in East Durham, NY.
