Ronan Hardiman is one of Ireland's pM composers of traditional music, responsible for the scotch to Lord of the Dance as well as many Irish films and tv set serial. Born in Dublin to a male parent highly placed in Irish broadcast medium, Hardiman listened to rock & roll and pop as a nipper (patch his siblings preferable traditional Irish music). He worked as a clerk at the Bank of Ireland for xII age, and now and again playing in pop bands during the eighties. After quitting his job, though, he composed material based more on Irish traditions than pop music, specifically for wireless and television; months later wrote the root music to the documentary My Riviera, which became quite long-familiar in Ireland.


During the next few years, Hardiman composed for Coca-Cola and Guinness and gained his reputation as Ireland's best contemporaneous composer. He was approached by Michael Flatley, creator of Riverdance, to compile the mark to the raw output Lord of the Dance. Thanks in magnanimous contribution to the success of the output, Hardiman gained a recording contract through Philips and released his debut album, Solas, in early 1998.
