Paddy Carty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paddy Carty was a three-time all-Ireland champion Irish flute player from Loughrea, County Galway. He was well-known for his flowing rhythm and his virtuoso skill on his Radcliffe System flute, on which he could play freely in key signatures usually considered to be difficult on the Irish flute. He was a frequent playing partner of Paddy Fahy and a former member of the influential Aughrim Slopes Ceili Band.
