DONEGAL TO DÙN ÈIDEANN CONCERT

On Sunday Sun 7th May two fiddlers, two musical heritages and one shared passion. Liz Doherty’s Donegal tradition and Amy Geddes’ Galloway fiddle roots are explored in concert, with a sprinkling of Cape Breton thrown in for good measure.

Since meeting in the 1990s, Liz and Amy have shared many musical adventures and have been known to dispatch the fiddles and don their dancing shoes to show off a few steps.

Expect boundless fiddle energy, ably backed by Kevin Mackenzie on guitar.

£8.00
