Dave Sheridan's flute playing has been described as "a highly accomplished free flowing fluid style, with sound technique and solid driving rhythm (Hot Press Magazine) and a flute style which takes on "Lark like qualities" (fRoots Magazine).
On the back of his critically acclaimed debut album "Sheridans Guesthouse" he has just released his second solo flute album entitled "Drivin' Leitrim Timber". This album is already receiving rave reviews, with The Irish Times describing it as "a joy... a thoughtfully organised collection, that celebrates a fluid free flowing regional flute style...with enough sharp edges to keep the listener's antennae on high alert for the next hairpin bend".
Dave has recorded with artists from renowned traditional groups like Lunasa, Dervish, At The Racket and De Danann as well as performing on many occasions with the Sligo based band Teada . He has made many television appearances, such as The Late Late Show, Geantrai, The Reel Deel and The Fleadh Program.
