Colm MacConiomaire

Colm Mac Con Iomaire is an Irish composer and musician from Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland, who plays keyboards, violin and sings with The Frames. He is the son of Liam Mac Con Iomaire, a writer, journalist and broadcaster. He attended school at Coláiste Eoin, an Irish Language secondary school in Co. Dublin. While there, in 1987, he was a founder member of the Irish folk group Kíla. Mac Con Iomaire has been involved with The Frames since 1990 and his interest in the Irish Language led to The Frames's involvement in two Irish-language albums released for the Irish charity Concern during Seachtain na Gaeilge. This included an Irish-language version of the Burn the Maps track "Locusts" entitled "Lócáistí" on the SnaG 05 album in 2005 and a song called "Pian agus Ciúnas" on the 2006 album Ceol '06. He has been a touring member of The Swell Season since 2006, and played violin on their 2008 album Strict Joy. He also played violin on David Gray's 1998 album White Ladder. Colm played violin for Damien Rice on his world-renowned album "O" in 2002 and helped finish his friend the late Mic Christopher's only solo album Skylarking, also in 2002.
