Galway’s busking scene has welcomed a unique new sound over the past four months. Street musician and fiddler Ellie Spencer joined Jason on The Breakfast Show to discuss her creative journey, busking across the city, and blending classical arts with traditional Irish music.
Ellie’s journey to Ireland began by sailboat, first docking in Dingle before fellow musicians and locals urged her to head straight for Galway’s renowned arts culture. Having played fiddle since the age of eight, Ellie combines musical performance and classical ballet energetic, multi-disciplinary flair to her street sets and contribute to the character of what makes Galway so unique.
When not performing on the street, Ellie is an active participant in Galway's pub trad session circuit, playing the Crane Bar, the Cellar and Taafes Bar. For more info, follow Ellie on instagram, and listen to the full interview below
