Pamela Queally

Pamela Queally from Kilmaley in Co.Clare has had a huge interest in music from a young age. She started the classical fiddle at the age of four for one year with Clare Music Makers. She proceeded to follow her sister’s footsteps in the traditional music scene and started with Majella Shannon at the age of five. She remembers buying her first CD in ‘Custy’s’ music shop of the Kane sisters and has been hugely influenced by their music. Pamela has been influenced by the East Clare style since she began lessons with John Weir when she was thirteen and now listens to musicians such as Martin Hayes, Eileen O’ Brien, the late Paddy Canny and Tommy Peoples. Pamela began a four year degree in General Nursing in 2016 and is looking forward to furthering her education within the healthcare system. Pamela has been teaching music for numerous years to musicians of various ages. She has travelled to many places throughout the world with various musicians and with her band ‘Out the Gap’ as far as China and South Africa. In March 2019 Pamela launched her debut duet album ‘Beyond the Bellows and the Bow’ with her sister Aoibheann to critical acclaim.
