About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours 30 minutes

    Coscán are a four piece Trad / Contemporary band based in Slane, Co. Meath, playing a unique and exciting style of Trad. Having toured extensively they have released their third album FIREDANCE, themed around ancient sites and historical tales from Counties Louth and Meath. All the material on the album is composed by the band and includes instrumentals and songs. From celebrations of sun worship at ancient sites like Newgrange to tunes about Millmount and Mornington, their music draws deep inspiration from the history of both the Royal & Wee Counties. Their live shows are high octane trad.

    NIALL MC CABE

    Niall has supported Ed Sheeran and guested as the singer with Beoga on their US tour. Beoga’s Seán Og Graham produced Niall’s debut solo album and the weight of personal experience and reflection makes it a masterpiece, in the true sense of the word. Confined to his native Clare Island during the lockdown, singer songwriter Niall McCabe re-evaluated his approach to song making, taking a deep look at his own life and reworking the echoes of tales he heard in the community.

    MORE POWER TO YOUR ELBOW

    At the top of their game for more than thirty years, More Power To Your Elbow are really enjoying a magnificent resurgence in the wake of a very difficult time for all musicians and entertainers over this past few years . This eight piece band from the Mid-Ulster area just love playing their music, a hectic blend of traditional tunes and airs with modern rock rhythms. More Power have a rich history. During the 90’s, they toured extensively in U.S.A, Canada, England and throughout Europe. These highly anticipated ventures have continued right up until the present day, with the addition of Italy, Holland, Norway and most recently Germany, in their upcoming August tour.

    Despite such a varied schedule, the More Power members all agree that it’s hard to beat our home soil for the craic, enthusiasm and sheer energy of the crowds that attend their concert and festival gigs. This high quality band of talented musicians may be thirty years on the road but they find themselves playing to a whole new generation of fans and the music is still the same, the enthusiasm is even more pronounced and the craic even better!
