As part of Tradfest, a festival of traditional Irish music and culture, we present one of the big names of Irish folk music. Legendary accordion player, Máirtín O’Connor (De Danann, Skylark, Riverdance), Cathal Hayden on fiddle and banjo (Four Men and a Dog), and Seamie O’Dowd on guitar and vocals (Dervish) come together with a very special synergy that ignites audiences and brings them to their feet. Virtuoso accordion player, Máirtín, superb fiddle and banjo player, Cathal and beloved guitarist and vocalist Seamie, explore Irish music in innovative and contemporary styles while staying rooted in the tradition. The Trio’s joyous performances and kinship on stage make them a must see and hear.

“Genius is an overused word, but it sits lightly on the shoulders of Galwegian accordionist and tune composer Máirtín O’Connor…His impish, quizzical style is as distinctive as a fingerprint.” (Irish Times)
