Biographical notes
Though he was born in Dublin, Redican's parents hailed from Boyle, Co.Sligo, and were both flute players. Redican, however, chose the fiddle and studied with Frank O'Higgins in Dublin before he emigrated to the United States in 1928. He played all his life, even to the end, when he succumbed to a heart attack which struck when playing a date in Mineola, Long Island.
He worked for much of his life for the cosmetics company Estee Lauder in New York. Redican (who also played the banjo) was a member of the New York Céili Band and a member of an All - Ireland Senior Championship Trio with Galway native, Jack Coen (flute) and the late Paddy O'Brien (box).
