About Cathal Johnson:
Cathal Johnson attained a degree in Applied Music specialising in “Harmonica Solo Performance” at Dundalk Institute of Technology. That same year he established Harmonicas Ireland. As a musician Cathal plays harmonicas chromatic, diatonic and tremolo, he plays guitar with harmonica rack and melodeon and accordions. So his gigs are diverse and interesting. As a teacher, Cathal is an experienced and professional instructor who teaches harmonica, accordion and guitar in a fun and accessible way. His music lessons are very popular with both children and adults.
Always a keen harmonica player (as well guitar), Cathal took time to study under the tutelage of Rick Epping of “Pumpkin Head” and inventor of the XB40 Hohner Harmonica. Cathal then attended workshops with harmonica virtuoso Mick Kinsella at the Miltown Malbay Summer Festival. He has also attended workshops at the Murphy Brothers’ Festival in Waterford.
Over the years, Cathal has successfully managed music events for numerous festivals, parties, pubs and clubs in Galway, Donegal and Louth, as well as street performances for the Louth County Council. Cathal has played festivals such as Electric Picnic, Vantastival and BARE. In 2019 he was recognised and certified by Hohner Harmonica manufacturers in Germany as “Hohner Service Technician“.
Cathal’s exactitude of reed work and reed-plate slot work and accuracy of tuning have singled him out in the world of harmonica today as the go to person for custom work and repairs. As such Cathal is known worldwide among the harmonica community for his work and as a fine Irish Traditional Dance Musician, not to mention other genres of music such as blues, folk, pop and country music…
