Tommy Peoples, Fintan McManus, Mairead Mooney and Ciaran Curran with host Cathal McConnell

With such musicians this final concert promises to be a special night in traditional music. Tommy Peoples, possibly the best known of all Irish fiddle players, comes from St. Johnston in Co. Donegal. He has played with most of the famous names in traditional music but is best known for his time with the Bothy Band and for a hugely influential recording with Matt Molloy and Paul Brady. He now prefers to play solo and continues to develop his unique style of fiddle playing.

Mairead Mooney is another famous Donegal fiddle player and is known worldwide for her playing and singing with Altan. Her tunes, her fiddle playing and her singing, both in Gaeilge and English, all come from her own family and her own area in North West Donegal. This is a rare chance to hear this gifted musician in a more intimate setting.

Ciaran Curran on bouzouki will accompany Mairead. He has played with Altan since its formation and his playing is a crucial part of the Altan sound. Ciaran hails from Kinawley in Co. Fermanagh and took his early music from his own family (his uncle Eddie Curran was a noted fiddle player) and from his own music rich area of Derrylin and Kinawley.

Cathal McConnell will host this event and there is no better person to fill this role. Cathal, from Bellanaleck in Co. Fermanagh, is one to the famous McConnell family whose brothers Cormac, Sean and Mickey all sing and write songs as well as following their journalist careers. Cathal stormed the traditional world as far back as the early 1970s with his flute playing in The Boys of the Lough. His equally gifted singing has come more to the fore as the years passed and, no doubt, he will sing some of the songs he learnt in his native Fermanagh on this occasion.
