Brought up in Derbyshire, England but now residing in Ennis, Co.Clare, Tricia began playing the piano at a very early age, studying classical and, later, jazz music. She also began to learn several other instruments, including the guitar, bass, and piano accordion. At the age of fourteen, she began to get interested in Irish music and persuaded her parents to buy her a fiddle. She began to teach herself on the instrument, by listening to CDs and attending workshops such as those at Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy.

Tricia is currently studying for a BA in Traditional Music & Dance at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance in the University of Limerick, where she studies fiddle and piano. In Limerick she has also been given the opportunity to learn bouzouki and concertina. The Academy is a great meeting point for musicians from all over the world, and it was from there that Tricia was a founding member of international band, The Outside Track. With them, she went on to produce a highly acclaimed album and took part in several successful tours around the UK and Ireland, before leaving in September 2007.

As well as a successful spell with The Outside Track, Tricia is also embarking on a collaboration with Clare-based singer/songwriter, Josie Harrington. She has appeared at festivals such as Sidmouth International Folk Festival, where The Outside Track supported Altan on the main stage, The Buncrana Traditional Arts Festival, Temple Bar Trad Festival and the Carrick Music Festival. She has toured in Europe with various musicians, performing alongside acts such as At First Light and Arcanadh.

In December 2007, Tricia recorded her debut solo album, 'The Lark's March', which will be released later on this year. For more information, see the albums page
