Kilfenora Céilí Band

 

The Kilfenora Céilí Band’s story is the story of Irish music itself. Founded in 1909, the band is still on the road 102 years later. It features fiddles, flutes, banjo, and squeezeboxes, and what Folk Roots magazine calls “one of the tightest rhythm sections in the world”. The Kilfenora have consolidated their position as one of the world’s greatest and longest-running Irish céilí bands.
Tickets: €21 (booking fee may apply).
