The Music of Ireland

Born and raised in Waterford, Ireland's oldest city, Gerry Cox moved to Australia at the age of 25, where he spent 10 years performing on the Melbourne Irish music scene, both as a solo performer and in a variety of ensembles. After touring to Singapore twice in the late 1990s to perform for the St. Patrick's Day festivities, he relocated here in 2004. Since then, he has performed all over the island and has been a feature of many Irish-themed events, including the annual St. Patrick's Society Ball and St. Patrick's Day Street Festival. In 2011, he performed at Jubilee Hall in Raffles Hotel as the opening act for a concert by internationally acclaimed Irish singer Mary Black, a concert Cox himself helped to organise and promote. He has also been invited to perform at the Residence of the Irish Ambassador on many occasions.

James Chan, a Singaporean musician, has been playing Irish traditional music since 2008. He has since performed for various events held by the Irish community in Singapore, including performances at the Residence of the Irish Ambassador, Ireland Fund Singapore, and the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration. In 2018, he became the first Singaporean representative at the All-Ireland flute and tin whistle championships.
