Scotty Connor — Career Highlights

Welcome to my career highlights — a selection of musical, creative and professional experiences from my work as a musician, songwriter, composer, performer and producer.

Based in Dublin, Ireland, my work spans live performance, original music, traditional Irish music, songwriting, recording, video production and creative projects.

Live Performance & Session Work

The Wolfe tones — Final Glasgow Performances

I had the opportunity to work with Catalpa during The Wolfe tones' final Glasgow performances, including appearances at the Barrowland Ballroom and Glasgow Armadillo.

One of the most special moments for me was having the opportunity to sing the Irish ballad “Only Our Rivers Run Free” at the Glasgow Armadillo.

To me, this was a massive deal. Singing such a well-known and deeply meaningful Irish song on that stage, as part of such an important occasion, is something I will always remember.

“Only Our Rivers Run Free”, written by Mickey MacConnell, has long been associated with Irish folk music and The Wolfe tones, making the opportunity to perform it there particularly meaningful to me. 

It was a very proud moment for me personally and one of the highlights of my musical journey.

The Wolfe Tones — Dublin 3Arena

I also worked with Catalpa around The Wolfe Tones' 60th Anniversary celebrations in Dublin, including their final performance at the 3Arena in 2024.

I was incredibly honoured to be invited to the final private backstage gathering, celebrating the life and career of The Wolfe Tones.

Being part of such a special occasion was a very meaningful experience for me, and I am extremely grateful to everyone in the Catalpa and Wolfe Tones family for the wonderful welcome, kindness and treatment I received.

It is an experience I will always remember with great appreciation and pride.
