Roisin White has become one of the foremost song carriers of the Ulster tradition. Born in County Down, she acquired her interest in singing, listening to her mother sing around the house. She studied Irish Gaelic language, and when at one of the smallest of the Aran Islands to improve her Irish, she learned traditional singing from a small community where singing was very common and natural. She has learned songs directly from countless source and revival singers, including Len Graham, Eddie Butcher, Paddy & Bridget Tunney, and Robert Cinnamond.

Roisin has absorbed the traditional culture and made her own robust and jaunty singing style. She now teaches Irish for a living and teaches singing at various singing weekend and week-long schools, and performs at festivals, in several countries. Many of us heard and enjoyed her singing and cheerful company at Pinewoods Camp a few years ago, and looking forward to seeing her again.
