Tempest
Saturday 26.9. 21:30
A thrilling new force in contemporary traditional music — fearless, cinematic, and crackling with raw energy
Tempest are a powerful ensemble of traditional Irish musicians from Ulster.
Featuring an exciting line-up of Brendan Mulholland, Blaithín Mhic Cana, Aaron O’ Hagan and Luke Ward, they have each achieved acclaim in their respective musical careers to date. Formed in 2023, Tempest are already regarded as a vibrant exponent of traditional Irish music and song and their debut album has been received to wide acclaim.
The group is firmly rooted in the heritage, song and music of their native Ulster and take great pride in sharing this with their audience. There is a particular focus on the singing tradition of Blaithín’s native South Armagh while many of the tunes also take their origins from the northern province.
The Soap Pig will open the evening concert at 21:30, followed by Tempest around 22:15.
