Malachy Robinson

Founding member of Crash Ensemble, double bass player Malachy Robinson is a dedicated chamber musician, as passionate about Early Music as he is about New Music. He has worked closely with and premiered pieces by many Irish composers including Kevin O’Connell, Ian Wilson and Raymond Deane. His double-bass playing has been described by the Irish Times as “rich in rhetoric” with “rhythmic life” and “unassuming virtuosity” and by the Irish Examiner as “remarkable virtuosity” employing a “variety of timbres”.
