The Fiddling Thomsons

Father and son duo Ryan and Brennish Thomson visited the library in March. The two have been performing together for over 20 years. Their large repertoire of Irish music includes jigs, reels, hornpipes, aires, slides and more, which they play on fiddles, accordion, guitar, banjo, bones, Irish tin whistle, and other instruments.

They have performed throughout New England and far away places such New York, California, England, and China. Besides numerous awards for their playing on various instruments, they are the recipients of the 2023 New Hampshire Governor’s Arts Award for Folk Heritage.
