event details

Conceived and devised by the brilliant Armagh flute and whistle player Brian Finnegan, co-founder of the legendary Flook, The Singing Tree is a brand new performance in words, music and dance celebrating the rich musical traditions of the north of Ireland, and the social and cultural changes currently taking place there.

Alongside Finnegan, a 13-strong line-up of top talent from the region includes acclaimed singer Cara Dillon, dancer Sibéal Davitt and the multi-award-winning Belfast poet Gearóid Mac Lochlainn, with Jarlath Henderson (uilleann pipes/whistles), Damien O’Kane (banjo/guitar), Trevor Hutchinson (double bass), Méabh O’Hare (fiddle/viola) and Eamon Murray (bodhrán).

Winners of a Danny Kyle Award in 2007, the six young Irish siblings making up The Rooney Family display their remarkably seasoned musicianship in a blend of traditional and original material.
