Eileen Ivers

Ivers was a founding member of Cherish the Ladies. She recorded and toured with them for several years.^[3]

In 1995, she replaced the original fiddler in the Riverdance Irish dance troupe and toured with them.^[4]

Her original blue Barcus-Berry electric fiddle was eye-catching and inspired the name of her album Wild Blue. She later replaced it with a blue ZETA Strados acoustic-electric fiddle, which is a one-of-a-kind instrument with unique sound and ambience. It was custom-made for her by ZETA Music Systems (who will be producing an "Eileen Ivers Signature Series" Blue electric violin exactly like hers).^{[citation needed]}

Ivers has recorded with Micheál Ó Súilleabháin, an Irish composer who uses folk, classical and jazz influences, on the television series River of Sound and on his album Becoming (1998).^{[citation needed]}

She also recorded a traditional air for the soundtrack to the film Gangs of New York, entitled "Lament for Stalker Wallace". She appears on the soundtrack for the film Some Mother's Son.^[5]

Ivers was also an inaugural member of the Independent Music Awards' judging panel to support independent artists.^[6]
