Tommy Peoples learned the fiddle from his father and a cousin in east Donegal and moved to Dublin in the 1960s. His fierce, intense playing drove the early Bothy Band, and he later settled in County Clare. He composed around 130 tunes, gathered in his book Ó Am go hAm, and was the first musician to win two TG4 Gradam awards.
