Mike McGoldrick – flute/uilleann pipes/whistles

This newly curated lineup features the incomparable multi-instrumentalist Mike McGoldrick, acclaimed fiddle and viola player Nollaig Casey, and one of Ireland’s fast-rising stars of the folk world, guitarist and singer Niall McCabe.

Nollaig Casey is one of Ireland’s most gifted and versatile musicians, known for her distinctive sound and instantly recognisable playing style. She has worked with a host of renowned artists, including Enya, Van Morrison, Sinéad O’Connor, Mary Black, Christy Moore, and Sharon Shannon. As a member of groundbreaking bands Coolfin and Planxty, her influence on Irish music is enduring.

Niall McCabe, with his self-effacing humour and captivating stories of growing up on a remote Irish island, brings an effortless charm to his performances. His natural, distinct voice is earning him a growing and loyal fanbase across Ireland, the UK, Europe and North America.

Former BBC Folk Awards Musician of the Year Mike McGoldrick is a gifted composer and a master of the wooden flute, low whistles, and uilleann pipes. A sought-after contributor for many artists, he has collaborated with Mark Knopfler since 2009 and been a core member of the Transatlantic Sessions.

This tour will feature the world premieres of two new Music Network commissions: a song commission by Niall McCabe and an instrumental commission by Nollaig Casey and Mike McGoldrick.

Don’t miss what promises to be an exciting evening of music filled with masterful performances, captivating stories and song.
