Michael and his brother Frank Wallace (piper) were born somewhere between Ballina and Westport, County Mayo. He performed in England and New York City.
Michael's supporters claimed he was a better piper than William Connolly (born 1839). The pipemaker, Michael Egan, thought him the best Irish piper on either side of the Atlantic.
His ultimate fate is unknown.
