Obsessed by drums and rhythm from an early age, Ruairi made his musical debut on the Irish bodhrán aged four. Graduating with first-class honours from The Royal College of Music, he was also recipient of the President’s Award. Ruairi leads a diverse career in music, performing with numerous artists and ensembles, collaborating with arts organisations to create high impact and inclusive education projects as well as being in demand as a presenter, workshop leader and facilitator.
