This Friday 15th November sees a Traditional Music Concert in the Beehive starting at 8pm.Three figures synonymous with Irish music today; Dermot Byrne, John Doyle and Éamon Coyne, will perform on the night.Dermot Byrne (button accordion and melodeon) was born into the heart of the music of South West Donegal. Having played from a very young age, Dermot has a vast knowledge of Donegal’s music and song. Éamonn Coyne (banjo, tenor guitar) spent many summer holidays in Mucross, just outside Kilcar. Being invited back to play at festivals in the area made him aware of a musical heritage that had previously escaped him. John Doyle (guitar, bouzouki, vocals) from Dublin, and now living in North Carolina, spent many holidays in South West Donegal, fuelling a deep interest in the music and song of the area.This promises to be a great night featuring the best of traditional music so come along and enjoy the event.
