Obsessed by drums and rhythm from an early age, Ruairi made his musical debut on the Irish bodhrán aged four. Graduating with first-class honours from The Royal College of Music, he was also recipient of the President’s Award. Ruairi leads a diverse career in music, performing with numerous artists and ensembles, collaborating with arts organisations to create high impact and inclusive education projects as well as being in demand as a presenter, workshop leader and facilitator.

HERES WHAT past PARTICIPANTS HAD TO SAY... 

"I loved the workshop and felt so chilled out after it. Ruairi holds such a welcoming space and there was loads of fun and laughing too! I really enjoyed just playing and not worrying about anything else for a bit"

"It was fun and relaxed and no one had any need to be nervous as it was very inclusive and you weren't put on the spot"

"Ruairi really pushed us which is a great skill for a teacher to encourage their students to reach higher than they could have imagined but without pressure. Great job!"

"Excellent – achieved what the title and the course indicated and more and of course was fun!"

"Excellent session – extremely well led by Ruairi, great people skills."

"I learned a lot, really enjoyed it. It was my first experience of drumming and I want to do more."
