Patricia grew up in rural Derbyshire of Northern Irish parents and from the age of fourteen,was drawn to the fiddle.

   Siobhan Peoples has described her as having spot-on technique but what she remarked on mostly was the depth of atmosphere she was able to create,especially on the solo tracks.

   Launched at the November Trad Festival in Ennis,2007,Patricia will be an ongoing fixture on the Irish music scene for a long time to come.
