Rousing Jigs and tender ballads

 

Belfast favourites Craobh Rua perform traditional Celtic fare at its finest at the Gulbenkian on Saturday 24 March at 7.45pm.

 

Mixing rousing jigs, reels and polkas with tender ballads and airs, this exciting acoustic four-piece take a refreshing unpretentious and uncommonly skilled run at some of the greatest music in the world.  

 

Driven by uillean pipes, fiddle, whistles and the exciting banjo and mandolin playing of group founder Brian Connolly with passionate vocals from Jim Rainey, it promises to be a very special and compelling celebration of Irish music. Come and raise a Guinness or two with us!
