Martin Mulvihill (born in Ballygoughlin, County Limerick, Ireland in 1923; died 21 July 1987) was an Irish traditional musician, composer, teacher, and author. He composed roughly 25 tunes in the Irish traditional style. Although his mother Brigid Flynn played the concertina and fiddle, Martin, the youngest of her ten children, was the only one to become a musician. In 1940 at age 17, he joined the Irish Army. After his discharge, he played with Meade's Dance Band in Glin. In 1984, Mulvihill was honored with a NEA National Heritage Fellowship.
