Event Overview
A one-off gathering of three of Ireland’s leading performers of indigenous Irish music. Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde, the prize-winning sean-nós [‘old style’] singer from Gweedore, will perform in duo with Siobhán Armstrong, Ireland’s foremost performer on the ancient Irish, brass-wire-strung harp, and Donegal musician and composer, Martin Tourish, named ‘Young Musician of the Year’ by TG4 in 2008, makes a rare Kilkenny appearance in a programme of evocative and lively instrumental music and harp songs, some of which have only recently been unearthed after 200+ years of being lost to the living tradition. Presented in the setting of the 1000-year-old tower of Kilkenny Castle.
Concerts take place live in Kilkenny. A video of the concert will also be available to ticket holders after the festival, until 29 December, 2024. N.B. Evening concerts will not be live-streamed online.
