From a musical family in Dublin, John was sixteen when he went on the road with Chanting House, a group which he formed with Susan McKeown.

Impossibly in demand in the studio and on the road, immensely talented and blessed with an acute ear, a wicked sense of rhythm and seemingly endless stream of magic in his playing, composing, performing and producing, John Doyle is solidly establishing himself as one of the most versatile, creative, and prolific voices in folk and traditional Irish music.
