SUMMARY:Brian Conway with Brian McGrath
DESCRIPTION:Premier Irish-American fiddler\, performs with a skill\, grace and force that are steeped in tradition but distinctively his own. Well known in the Irish/Celtic community\, Conway has won numerous All-Ireland fiddling competitions\, and has been called one of the best fiddlers of his generation. Nothing is missed or missing in Brian Conway’s Sligo-style fiddling. \nNew York born fiddler Brian Conway is a leading exponent of the tastefully ornamented Sligo fiddling style made famous by the late Michael Coleman. The winner of two All- Ireland junior titles in 1973 and 1974 and the All-Ireland senior championship of 1986\, Brian’s early studies were with his father Jim of Plumbridge\, County Tyrone\, and with Limerick born fiddler/teacher Martin Mulvihill. \nHowever\, it was the legendary fiddler and composer Martin Wynne who taught him the real secrets of the County Sligo style. Later\, Brian met and befriended the great Andy McGann of New York\, a direct student of Michael Coleman\, who further shaped his precision and skill on the instrument. \nOn Friday\, August 14th 8pm \nAdmission: €20.

SUMMARY:Frankie Gavin & Catherine McHugh
DESCRIPTION:Frankie Gavin has been a commanding force in Irish traditional music since his teenage years\, earning a reputation as one of the most technically accomplished and fiercely individual musicians of his generation. A master of both fiddle and flute\, his extraordinary skill has carried him far beyond the traditional circuit\, leading to performances alongside global icons including The Rolling Stones and Elvis Costello\, and appearances for four US Presidents: Kennedy\, Clinton\, Bush and Obama. \nHailing from County Galway\, Frankie continues his glittering career today with the same intensity and precision that first set him apart\, while generously championing and performing alongside the next generation of traditional musicians.

Her sensitivity\, rhythmic drive and deep understanding of traditional music have made her one of the most sought-after collaborators in the genre. Catherine featured prominently on Frankie’s acclaimed 2022 album Port Éireann\, where her playing provided both subtlety and strength\, perfectly complementing his melodic lines. \nTogether\, this exceptional duo delivers music of power\, precision and warmth: a meeting of tradition\, innovation and lived experience\, led by one of Irish music’s true originals. \nGet your tickets here.

SUMMARY:Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfe Tones
DESCRIPTION:A special group of Irish men and women have been responsible for preservation of the tradition of Irish ballad singing over the past 50 years. Derek Warfield is a distinguished name among them. Derek Warfield and They Young Wolfe Tones are bringing that musical tradition forward with a reverence for Ireland’s past and the energy and optimism of a new generation of Irish musicians. \nIn 2001\, after nearly 40 years performing\, the legendary Wolfe Tones parted with their founder and leader – Derek Warfield. No other Irish folk group\, before or since\, told the story of Ireland so completely and unapologetically. But for Derek’s hunger and desire to continue to further the story of Ireland through song\, an ancient tradition might have lost perhaps its most iconic figure. In 2005 Derek put together a band containing some of the finest musicians and singers in Irish music – The Young Wolfe Tones. \nDerek Warfield’s 50 years of experience coupled with the talent and energy of The Young Wolfe Tones brings the old tradition of Irish balladry into a new age. The story of Ireland is transmitted in their music and song and illuminated by the outstanding musicianship of three wonderful ambassadors of a new generation of traditional players. Derek Warfield and The Young Wolfe Tones deliver Ireland’s traditional music and folk songs with an energy and skill that shows the quality of contemporaries within that tradition. The patriotic spirit of Irish music carried through the 1970s\, 1980s and 1990s by the Wolfe Tones now marches on in the dynamic sound of The Young Wolfe Tones.
