Four of Ireland’s brightest folk musicians – more than one of them with impeccable Galway connections – will stop off in Clifden on part of a nationwide tour next month.

The quartet, musicians who have been integral to the success of many leading Irish traditional and folk groups, will play at the Station House on Monday, February 20, as part of Music Network’s Spring 2023 Season.

The Whileaways’ Noriana Kennedy (vocals/banjo) is joined by Téada’s Oisín Mac Diarmada on fiddle and Mirella Murray, accordionist with Cherish the Ladies.

And on guitar, Donogh Hennessy, a founding member of Lúnasa, brings his trademark rhythmic drive to complement the harmonic textures and melodic explorations of this vibrant trio and complete the line-up.

With sublime songs, energetic tunes and captivating arrangements, this will be a musical cocktail to savour.

RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards multi-nominee Noriana Kennedy is a founding member of critically acclaimed trio The Whileaways. She has recorded four albums with the group renowned for its beguiling tapestry of harmonies and beautifully crafted original songs.

Noriana performs compelling and stunning versions of old-time songs, folk ballads and original compositions, creating a sound that is truly her own – as clearly evidenced on her debut album Ebb n Flow.
