Presentation of UCD Honorary Degree and Live @Belfield Concert performance
Paddy Glackin - Honorary Degree of Doctor of Literature
Citation by Dr Ciarán Crilly
“Paddy Glackin is one of Ireland’s most eminent fiddle players, a shining light in the popular wave of the Irish folk revival from the 1970s, as well as being an illustrious broadcaster and producer, and a respected authority on the history of traditional music in Ireland. It is entirely fitting that he featured in an iconic album from the 1980s showcasing the cream of Irish performers entitled The High Kings of Tara as he is indeed musical royalty, and something of a legend.”
