Two giants of the Irish traditional music scene, Andy
Irvine and Donal Lunny are uniting for an evening
of great music, a mixture of traditional songs and
originals composed by Andy.
Irvine and Lunny have been at the helm of legendary

Mozaik, LAPD and recently Usher’s Island. Their unique
style of accompaniment is an ongoing influence in
the wider world of Irish music. Between them, Donal
Lunny and Andy Irvine have careers that read like a
‘Who’s Who’ of popular music.
Lunny has produced albums for Elvis Costello, Paul
Brady, Clannad, and The Indigo Girls, and composed
the soundtracks for Eat the Peach, and Teardrops. As
a musician, he has performed on more than a dozen
Christy Moore albums, and was an integral part of
ensembles, Planxty, The Bothy Band, Mozaik and Slow Session
Moving Hearts.

music of Oriel; Brendan McCreanor, an uilleann

of their music presents thrilling interpretations of the
