Festival Interceltique du Lorient
August 2026
We had a ball at Lorient this year. We played three concerts to some brilliant crowds. What an experience!
Huge thanks to the team for hosting us! The nice weather was brilliant too!
Doimnic and I were delighted to be at Scoil Samhraidh Mhic Reachtain again this year (that's 11 years in a row for me!).
We had the pleasure of performing alongside Diane Cannon, Alan Henderson and Máiri Mac Millan for a special pop-up gig before we jetted off to Lorient!
Session with the Pipers, Dublin, January 2026
What better way to brighten up a dark and dreary January than a trip to Dublin to play at the Cobblestone! Huge thanks to Na Píobairí Uilleann, who invited me to play at 'Session with the Pipers'. It was a full house and a great night's craic.

Irish Cultural Centre, London
December 2025
My last gig of 2025 was at the Irish Culture Centre in Hammersmith, London. It was a fantastic night consisting of a double album launch of Sliocht (with Eamon McElholm, Ciaran Tourish, Mark Maguire and Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde) and 'Caillte sa Cheol' by Ciarán Ó Maonaigh (fiddler extraordinaire from Gaoth Dobhair). He was accompanied by Seán Óg Graham and Caitlín Nic Gabhainn.
We had the pleasure of a grand finale on stage with all of us, making it a night to remember. Thanks to all at the ICC for having us.

Celtic Connections, Glasgow 30 January 2025
Well, what a fantastic night at Celtic Connections. It was an honour to play in my home city, and have my family and friends come along to support me. Eamon, Ciarán and Doimnic were performing with me. Here are some photos from the night - the Barony Hall was spectacular!!! Photos by Alistair Cassidy.
