My Dad Eamon Coyne was born in Tulsk, Co Roscommon. His family moved to Liverpool when he was young. They lived in a part of Liverpool called Crosby. He started to play music with his life long friend Sean McNamara in the late 1950's. It was around this time that the Liverpool Ceili Band was being formed of which he was a founder member. The Liverpool Ceili Band went on to win the All Ireland several times in the mid-60's. He always looked happiest when he was playing and he had a big smile on his face when the fiddle was in his hand and he was leading the session .
For as long as I can remember, my brothers Mick and Terry and I have been playing music together. We all started taking lessons in the Liverpool Irish Centre. We were in the Junior Ceili bands together and played in duets and trios. Later we joined the Liverpool Ceili Band with my dad on one side and Pat Finn on the other.
I now live in Merrimac, Massachusetts in the U.S. while Michael lives in Ennis, Co. Clare and Terry lives in N. Wales. We still meet 3 or 4 times a year at music festivals and we do occasional European tours together.
