The Apocadixie Six!
Barcelona’s favourite jazz family is coming to town! This vibrant 6-piece jazz family brings the joyous spirit of vintage jazz straight from the streets of Sitges, Catalonia to the heart of Lucan, Dublin. Joan Pinos is no stranger to Irish audiences as he has previously performed with many renowned Irish musicians including Niamh Kavanagh, Mary Coughlan, and Richie Buckley.
Catch The Apocadixie Six live as they present a lively, energetic and informative family concert on their very first trip to Ireland!
Cruinniú na nÓg presents a lively FESTIVAL FINALE with Damian Mullane trio and young guests!
In a short space of time Damien Mullane has a musical CV that any veteran musician would be proud of. He has been described as a virtuoso with an avant-garde style of playing. Damien won numerous All-Ireland titles on both accordion and melodeon and began his professional career as the accordionist in the legendary Frankie Gavin’s band De Dannan. He has also collaborated musically with the likes of Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones), James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Sting (Police) to mention a few.
With driving tunes and a song or two the Damian Mullane trio will surely light up The SongTales Stage at Ruaille Buaille as we bring Cruinniú na nÓg to a rousing finale.
