Description

Evenings of folk music and song don’t get much better than spending your time in the company of the unwavering trio of Mike McGoldrick, John McCusker & John Doyle.

Renowned for their respective, highly accomplished solo music, the trio have also between them played with the likes of Joan Baez, Mark Knopfler, Paul Weller, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tim O’Brien, and Zakir Hussain. No matter how in-demand Mike, John, and John may be, for each of them connecting with and enthralling audiences as a trio remains a deeply rewarding constant in their performing calendars.

They first played together as part of the enduring Transatlantic Sessions in 2007 – they still do – and then, recognising how closely their music and thinking chimed, branched out as a trio in 2009. Mike, John, and John have to date made two acclaimed studio albums and three live albums.

Steeped in Irish and Scottish traditional music, the trio will treat you an abundance of instrumental and vocal riches, playing varying blends of, flute, fiddle, guitar, uilleann pipes, whistles, bouzouki and harmonium.

McGoldrick, McCusker and Doyle will draw you in whether they are locking-in together on an array of tunes - from exhilarating, driving reels to evocative slow airs – or sharing captivating traditional and self-penned songs.

The evening will also see special guest RÓIS take to the stage. RÓIS is a composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and electronic artist from Fermanagh, whose songs breathe new life into a forgotten Ireland. Blending elements of folk, sean-nós, electronics, and jazz harmony, RÓIS’ genre-bending sound transports listeners to a different realm. Expect twists and turns of tempo and genre, and moments of sheer magic, as she conducts the energy of the room. This is a place where the ancient meets the new.


Programmed as part of the St Patrick’s Music Festival curated by Belfast TradFest.
