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 worked for much of his life for the cosmetics company Estee Lauder in New York. Redican 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).
