Ireland’s finest traditional musicians feature as part of a special lunchtime series at Monroe’s Live for the Galway International Arts Festival.&nbsp;
This is a unique opportunity to enjoy exciting collaborations and exceptional talent for a lunchtime trad music treat on Dominick Street.&nbsp;
<h4>Galvian Way:</h4>
On Friday, July 26th at 1pm, Galway’s very own Galvian Way will take to the stage with a stellar lineup of musicians: Paul McClure on bodhrán, Maidhc Ó hÉanaigh on flute, Declan Corey on mandolin, and Ger Clancy, Seosamh Ó Fátharta, and Mick Clancy on fiddle, along with dancer Ailbhe Davoren.&nbsp;
This group of six long-time friends came together in the summer of 2022 for a commemorative concert celebrating the twinning of Lorient and Galway as part of the annual mini-Brittany festival. Since then, they’ve played to large audiences at the Interceltic Festival of Lorient, and their fresh, vibrant sound ensures a fast-paced and exhilarating show.
<h4>Catherine McHugh and Áine McHugh:</h4>
The series concludes on Saturday, July 27th at 1pm with a captivating performance by Catherine McHugh and Áine McHugh. A gifted fiddle and piano player, Catherine is one of the most sought-after accompanists. Her deep understanding and innovative approach to piano accompaniment have made her a standout performer.
She will be joined by Áine McHugh, a talented concertina player who has worked with renowned banjo player Enda Scahill. Áine’s ability and contribution to traditional music are widely celebrated, making this duo’s performance a must-see event.
Tickets to this special lunchtime series of traditional music concerts cost €10 and are available from <a href="https://monroes.ie/" target="_blank">www.monroes.ie</a> . Doors open at 12:30pm with concerts starting at 1pm.&nbsp;
