Traditional Irish fiddle player and renowned teacher, Liz imparts what is best about Irish music - sheer fun and joy! She brings to her playing an exuberant energy that is rhythmical and powerful. Pat Aherne, The Examiner: "Liz's style remains firmly on the Donegal/Scotland/Cape Breton axis. Yet within that style lie many diverse elements, crazy cross-cut bowing and delicate, almost dainty, contrasts all underpinned by a masterly technique, an ideal illustration of just how powerful the fiddle is in the hands of a maestro."
