Concert – Traditional Irish music in the Gardens with Mick O’Brien and family with special guests Frioscaí
Tuesday 21st August
Mick O’Brien plays uilleann pipes, whistle and flute. His playing can be heard on numerous recordings with artists such as The Dubliners, Frankie Gavin and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. He has recorded with many artists over the years. His album with fiddler Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh was named Traditional Album of 2003 by Earle Hitchner in the Irish Echo. Mick will be joined by family and friends in an informal concert in the gardens to celebrate Heritage Week.
The O’Briens are highly regarded performers and teachers of the uniquely Irish uilleann pipes and traditional Irish instruments. A very musical family, the tradition lives on from generation to generation. His wife Fidelma will join Mick on banjo and fiddle, daughters Aoife and Ciara on fiddle and harp, and son Cormac on pipes and whistle. Frioscaí, the all-Ireland Siansa Gael Linn 2012 finalists will be joining the O’Brien family as special guests.
Time: from 3.00pm.
