  • È considerato uno dei massimi interpreti del suo strumento nel campo della musica popolare irlandese. Nato in una regione famosa per i suoi flautisti, Molloy imparò a suonare da bambino, vincendo il primo premio del concorso "All-Ireland Flute Championship" all'età di 17 anni. Durante gli anni 70, Molloy fece parte del gruppo The Bothy Band e del suo successore il rinato Planxty. Nel 1979 entrò a far parte dei Chieftains, rimpiazzando Michael Tubridy. Nel corso degli anni Molloy ha anche lavorato con l'Orchestra di Musica da Camera Irlandese, Paul Brady, Tommy Peoples, Micheál Ó Súilleabháin e Dónal Lunny, e ha inciso diversi album come solista. Lo stile di Molloy, è caratterizzato dalla velocità dell'esecuzione, dalla pulizia e brillantezza del suono, e dalla fantasia dell' ornamentazione. Molloy, che è anche autore di diversi motivi popolari (tunes), suona un flauto traverso irlandese a otto chiavi o il cosiddetto "Simple System", traverso ma senza chiavi (occasionalmente si esibisce anche al tin whistle e alle uilleann pipes). Da diversi anni Molloy, pur senza essersi ritirato dall'attività musicale, possiede un pub a Westport, County Mayo della cui gestione si occupa attivamente e nel quale, ovviamente, le performance musicali dal vivo costituiscono la massima attrazione.
