Mick McQuaid

May 23, 2023 By Ken Fleming

Mick McQuaid played whistle, flute, and uilleann pipes in New York City in the seventies and eighties, and produced many Irish musical events featuring many legendary players of Irish music at the renowned Eagle Tavern in New York. He dropped out of the Irish music scene to pursue academia, which eventually led him to Texas, where he teaches at University of Texas at Austin, and where he has recently rejoined the Irish music community.
