About
The Meehan Family
The Meehan family hail from Madden, County Armagh, and are deeply rooted in the rich musical traditions of South Ulster.
Raised within the vibrant culture of the Armagh Pipers Club, the family learned from some of the finest musicians and tradition bearers of the region, with music forming part of daily life from an early age. Their sound reflects the deep connection and instinctive understanding that comes from a lifetime of playing together as a family, shaped by the strong flute and piping traditions of the area.
A Family Tradition
At the heart of the family is Martin Meehan, a respected flute player, former long-time tutor with the Armagh Pipers Club and recording artist with two solo albums to his name.
Joining him are:
- Patrick Meehan – bodhrán and flute
- Donall Meehan – accordion and piano
- Dominic Meehan – uilleann pipes and whistle
- Manus Meehan – guitar and harp
- Sorcha Meehan – fiddle
Together, the Meehans bring a powerful yet sensitive approach to traditional Irish music, combining driving rhythm, rich musical heritage and a sound firmly rooted in place, family and tradition.
A celebration of South Ulster's musical heritage, performed by one of its most accomplished and deeply connected musical families.
