The Hanafins will live on forever for their contributions to Irish music. Michael and his brother William (1875-1924) were born in Callinafercy (near Milltown), Co. Kerry, Ireland. When they were young boys, their home was known far and wide in Ireland as a gathering spot for Irish musicians. The Hanafin home was a favorite visiting spot for pipers, fiddlers and step-dancers.
The two Hanafin brothers were known for their musical gifts on fiddle, flute, tin whistle, and the uilleann pipes. Michael played the tin whistle, flute, and fiddle as a young boy, but his true love was the perfecting of his violin playing. Likewise, William as a young boy played flute and fiddle. Parents Bessie and Cornelius Hanafin were well known for their performances of Irish step dancing.
In the early 1900s, the Hanafin Brothers wrote and recorded their own music. They performed at the Kerry Ball, at weddings, parties and numerous socials, and their music was also played on a weekly radio program. Michael also won a gold medal for his Irish step dancing.
