Clare O’Meara - Fire Throwing Gardener By Day, Multi Instrumentalist By Night

Clare O’Meara joins Lindsay Waddington for a wide-ranging conversation at LWM House, sharing stories from a remarkable career in music.

A highly respected fiddle player and multi-instrumentalist, Clare has performed with artists including John Williamson, Brian Cadd and the Bushwackers, appearing on stages across Australia and around the world.

In this relaxed discussion, Clare talks about her early musical beginnings, the instruments that shaped her career, and the musicians who inspired her journey. Along the way, she reflects on life on the road, the creative world of studio musicians, and the unexpected second career she discovered in garden design during the COVID years.

With humour, honesty and plenty of memorable moments - including an unexpected opening with the Muppets theme - the conversation offers a glimpse into the life and experiences of one of Australia’s most versatile musicians.
