Irish fiddle player, Zoë Conway, is a
prodigious talent, equally at home in both
traditional Irish and classical styles. Her
list of achievements belies her youthful age
as Zoë has performed across the globe, both

Rice, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Nick Cave and Lou
Reed among others. She is a holder of the
much coveted All-Ireland Senior Fiddle

competition in 2001. She was also recently
voted Best Traditional Female of the Year in
Irish Music Magazine. Zoë is increasingly
in demand as a tutor, regularly giving
workshops and lectures on the merits of
classical and traditional music on the
violin. She has performed at festivals such

and has also performed in some of the most
prestigious concert halls in the world
including The National Concert Hall, Dublin;

Zoe has been touring with guitarist, John
McIntyre for the past year. John is a member

| Michael McIntyre on Mock The Week: "T'Lion N't T' The" |
 |
Michael McIntyre on a Mock The Week roll,
taking the absolute crap out of my home town
Leeds, the Yorkshire accent and pronunciation
of "The".
Now, may I at this point mention that their
are some slight factual inaccuracies in his
commentary.
"The", in the north, is not actually
pronounced "t" at all. It is in fact silent
and pronounced with little more than an
accented last letter of the word preceding
the "the". For example, "The Lion, The Witch
and The Wardrobe" would be pronounced "Lion
Witch N' Wardrobe" with slight emphasis on
the trailing "n"'s. Likewise, "The The" would
be pronounced with little more than a blank
stare and a couple of grunts.
But he was close enough :oP
