Simon has been part of CARA since July 2021. He also plays in \u201c3 on the Bund\u201d and in a duo with Irish singer and concertina player Susan Coleman, as well as the folk-fusion band &#8220;Luas&#8221;. His double solo album \u201cHalf Way There\u201d and \u201cAnother Way to Go\u201d (nominated for German Record Critics&#8217; Prize) was released in 2022 and catapulted him to the top of the young generation of Irish musicians. Irish Music Magazine wrote: \u201csizzles with a wild youthful burst of energy,\u201d and the NPU (Irish Society for Uilleann Pipes) officially added Simon to their online archive of live videos of important contemporary pipers in 2023!  <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-post-cards fusion-post-cards-1 fusion-grid-archive fusion-grid-columns-1 fusion-grid-flex-grow\"
