Director's Pick

Friday Evening Recital Series is always popular but be early as seating is limited. With concertina/fiddle virtuoso Maura Walsh & Tony O'Rourke (5.15pm) and Ado Barker & Ruairi McGorman (6.15pm) on the programme it'll be brilliant couple of hours!

Briege Murphy with her beautiful clear voice will, like the storytellers of old, take you on an Irish odyssey through her songs with their rich and poignant lyrics. You can hear her in the Upstairs Theatre at 9.45pm.
