Is as Rinn Ua gCuanach i gCo. Phort Láirge do Chaoimhín Ó Fearghail; píobaire, fliúiteadóir agus tionlacaí. Tá go leor ceoil taifeadtha aige le blianta beaga anuas. I measc na n-albam is déanaí atá eisithe aige tá dlúthdhiosca aonair ar na píb dar teideal 'Uilleann Piping from County Waterford', agus albam leis an bhfidléir Paddy Tutty dar teideal 'Flute & Fiddle'. Bíonn tarraingt air go minic mar mhúinteoir ag féilte ceoil ar fud na tíre agus thar lear, agus tá cuid mhaith den domhain siúlta aige ag múineadh agus ag seinnt ina aonair, le cairde, agus le grúpaí cosúil le Caladh Nua agus Danú. Ba é ceoltóir óg TG4 na bliana 2012 é agus tá tionchar nach beag ag ceoltóirí agus amhránaithe na nDéise air. Ainmníodh mar cheoltóir uirlise na bliana 2021 é chomh maith ag gradaim RTÉ Raidió 1.
