Bronágh Barnes and Feargal Barnes
Flowing and melodic. That is how one would describe the music of sister and brother Bronágh and Feargal Barnes. Coming from a family steeped in traditional Irish culture, this duo is as skilled and as fluent speaking the Irish language as they are playing Irish music. A student of the renowned Zoe Conway, Bronágh’s fiddle playing flows beautifully. Punctuating tunes with song, Feargal Barnes has a striking voice and accompanies expertly on Bouzouki. These local musicians will set the scene for what will be a night of spectacular music and entertainment.
