Andy McGann (1928-2004) was an Irish-American fiddle player and a celebrated exponent of Sligo-style fiddling. He was born in New York to immigrant parents from County Sligo, living first in west Harlem before moving as a child to Mott Haven in the Bronx. McGann received violin instruction from Catherine Brennan Grant, a teacher grounded in both classical and Irish traditional music, and played in parochial school orchestras. He also got informal instruction and encouragement from County Sligo fiddle great Michael Coleman, who was a friend of the family. At a very young age, McGann found a place among the elite of New York's Sligo-style fiddle players, including Coleman, Paddy Killoran, Martin Wynne, Louis Quinn and James "Lad" O'Beirne. In the 1950s, McGann formed a partnership with Longf

| - Andy McGann (The Bronx (New York), 10 mei 1928) is een Amerikaanse traditionele violist. Hij speelt voornamelijk Ierse muziek. Met zijn vriend de Ierse violist Paddy Reynolds ging hij aan het werk en verzorgden honderden feesten, bruiloften en andere partijtjes met hun spel. Zij werden daarbij geholpen door Larry Redican. Zij werden de kern van de New York Ceili Band, een ensemble waar ook button accordeon speler , Galway fluit speler Jack Coen en een jonge pianist deel uitmaakten. In 1977 gingen Paddy Reynolds en Andy en gitarist Paul Brady een opname maken in een studio, wat later tot een van beste Ierse viool-duetten gerekend zou worden. (nl)

In the 1950s, McGann formed a partnership with Longford-born fiddler Paddy Reynolds. With Reynolds and others, McGann played with The New York Céilí Band, an all-star group that traveled to Ireland in 1960 to compete at the All-Ireland fleadh cheoil in Boyle, County Roscommon. McGann's first studio recording was the 1965 LP A Tribute to Michael Coleman with button accordionist Joe Burke and piano accompanist Felix Dolan. When Shanachie Records was established in the 1970s, McGann released a solo recording and a duet album with Paddy Reynolds - both with guitar backing from Paul Brady - as well as The Funny Reel, a reunion LP with Burke and Dolan.
