Thosaigh Jimmy O’Brien Moran ag casadh cheoil timpeall 1975. Spreagadh an suim seo trí cheoil Planxty agus píobaireacht Liam O’Flynn. Chuaigh sé go dtí ranganna phíb
uilleann ag Scoil Samhradh Willie Clancy sa bhlian chéanna. ‘S iad Willie Clancy, Liam O’Flynn, Séamus Ennis agus Seán McKiernan na píobairí is mó a chuaigh i bhfeidhm
air.Thug Seán Reid dó an ghléas cheoil a sheinneann sé inniu, a rinne Colgan as an Muileann gCearr c. 1820. Ba é an chéad taifeadadh a rinne sé ná albam de phíobairí óga, “The Pipers’ Rock”, a léirigh seachtar píobairí a bhí óg ag an am. Sheinn sé freisin le James Kelly ar a albam “The Ring Sessions”. I 1996 d’eisigh sé taifead aonair dar teideal “Seán Reid’s Favourite” agus eisíodh a dhara dlúthdhiosca, “Take me Tender”, in 2013. Scrúdaíonn sé rogha de stór tras-scríofa an phíobaire dall as Gaillimh, Paddy Conneely (d’éag 1851). Bhí Conneely agus a bhailitheoirí (George Petrie san áireamh) ina n-ábhar do thráchtas dochtúireachta Jimmy in Ollscoil Luimnigh, a cuireadh isteach in 2006. Bronnadh scoláireacht Fulbright ar Jimmy chuig Boston College agus chaith sé cúig mhí ann in 2008. Is léachtóir é Jimmy in Ollscoil Theicniúil an Oirdheiscirt, Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Phort Láirge tráth.

Jimmy O’Brien Moran became interested in the uilleann pipes in the early 1970s, mainly through the playing of Liam O’FIynn and Planxty. He attended the Willie Clancy
Summer School in 1975. The music of Willie Clancy, Liam O’Flynn, Séamus Ennis and Seán McKiernan are among his influences. He plays a set of pipes in B made by Colgan of Mullingar which were generously given to him by the late Sean Reid of Ennis and Donegal. His first recording was for an album of young pipers, “The Pipers’ Rock”, which featured seven pipers who were young at the time. He played with James Kelly on his album “The Ring Sessions”. In 1996 he released a solo recording entitled “Seán Reid’s Favourite” and his second CD, “Take me Tender”, was released in 2013. It explores a selection of the transcribed repertoire of the blind Galway piper, Paddy Conneely (d.1851). Conneely and his collectors (including George Petrie) were the subject of Jimmy’s doctoral thesis at the University of Limerick, submitted in 2006.. Jimmy was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to Boston College and spent five months there in 2008. Jimmy is a lecturer at the South East Technical University.
