Songs From The Lough 3

The Acoustic Sessions

Songs From The Lough: The Acoustic Sessions will take place in Lough Rynn Castle on Monday 17th October.

Heading the bill is the great guitarist and songwriter Johnny Gallagher of the Boxty Band. Johnny's last album 2020 Vision topped the charts in many parts of Europe including France where it remained at No 1 for many weeks. Also on the bill will be Meitheal, headed up by Marc Geagan and some of the best trad musicians in the country.

CincáR is a duo of Hungarian musicians, Bence Babcsán and Attila Buzás. They are strongly influenced by a wide range of genres like jazz, classical or oriental. They will be joined by Eero Turkka a Finnish folk musician, best known as a member of the ‘Sväng’ harmonica quartet, which has appeared on Jools Holland's New Year Hootenanny.

And then there's me. I'll be joined by up to eight of the finest guitarists, dobro, pedal steel, mandolin players, and backing vocalists around, to present an acoustic set of my songs, some old and some new.

It's going to be a night not to be missed.
