Maugherow native and former All Ireland Banjo Senior Champion was introduced to music and dancing by her parents at an early age in Luton, UK, where a thriving Irish scene nurtured and encouraged her progression on several instruments. In recent years, Kerrie has begun composing some of her own music which are included in the album ‘Box and Banjo’, with box player Kenny Donagher. Her composition are primarily inspired by the beautiful surroundings of Sligo where she is based. Kerrie completed her TTCT in 2017 and continues to teach and adjudicate at both national and international Fleadhanna along with being a regular tutor at Irelands leading Summer Schools. In 2015, Kerrie was instrumental in gathering support to establish the Benbulben Comhaltas Branch which now has an active following and hosts the Knocklane Traditional Festival.

Kerrie has performed with many groups and artists to date including a performance on Broadway with the dance group ‘Shaylyn’, and various Comhaltas Tours in the UK, and United States. Kerrie has recently formed a new Sligo based group, ‘Seoid’, with well-known Trad multi-instrumentalists, Kenny Donagher, John Dwyer & Fiachra Guihen performing a lively and vibrant mix of traditional sets and newly composed music.
