Steve Jones has taught many classes in fiddle, tin whistle and accordion at Siamsa since the early 1990s. He began playing fiddle over 40 years ago in London, where he was inspired and encouraged by Danny Meehan, Michael Hynes and other luminaries of what was then the world Irish music capital.
Steve also plays whistle and accordion, and after a 30-year break from fiddle playing (the result of focal dystonia in his bowing arm) he is now back playing and teaching his beloved first instrument.
He has played in many bands over the years. Currently he leads the Siamsa Montreal Ceili Band and forms part of the duo Istorlet with pianist and singer Marie-Christine Lance.
Steve has also published books with the Donegal singer, musician and storyteller Packie Manus Byrne, including A Dossan of Heather, a tunebook compiled in collaboration with flute player Jean Duval.
