Family Gig: Beoga 31 Jan 2016
Beoga (Irish for ‘lively’) have become one of the most exciting, popular and influential groups in modern traditional Irish music. The foundation of their sound is firmly within the Irish tradition, however they are not afraid to incorporate other sounds into their music. You will hear flavours of blues, tango and New Orleans jazz, woven into a recognisably Irish sound.
This family performance features the twin duelling accordions of Damian McKee and multi-instrumentalist Seán Óg Graham, pianist Liam Bradley, four times All-Ireland bodhrán champion Eamon Murray and Niamh Dunne on vocals and fiddle.
Presented as part of Temple Bar TradFest 2015
