Michael McGahon first started playing music in the Irish Traditional and Folk scene in the late 1970s. His music influences have changed and expanded over the years as can be seen by his use of modal music. Following on from his 2017 album, Towards, his most recent album, Levant, explores modal, field and acoustic forms. It contains ten original pieces using instruments as diverse as Irish Bouzouki, Turkish Oud, Persian Setar and a very old upright piano, which his mother,  Jo, owned and played. Derrie has choreographed beautiful circle dances to some of Michael's music and has also used it for Dancing Mindfulness. Michael's music can be found on Spotify, Bandcamp and his website www.mcgahonmusic.com
