Kíla
(As part of the Ballina Salmon Festival)
Tuesday 8th July, 8pm
Long regarded by many as Ireland’s most exciting traditional music group, Kíla was formed in 1987. Built around the nucleus of the three Ó Snodaigh borthers – Rónan, Colm and Rossa – the group has gone to release nine studio albums, as well as live albums and DVDs and a Best of, entitled Rogha (meaning 'choice' in Irish).
Famed for their powerhouse live performances, which combine a deep understanding of traditional Irish music with other World music influences, Kíla are one of Ireland’s most exciting musical entities.
This concert promises to be one of the highlights of the year. Do not miss it!!!
Presented in association with the Ballina Salmon Festival.
Tickets: €20. Booking essential.
The Songs & Tall Tales of Jerry Fish
Saturday 26th July, 8pm
There’s a tendency for the word ‘unique’ to be bandied around a little too freely in music circles, but that’s the only way to describe Jerry Fish’s genre bending style. A highly charismatic performer who refuses to countenance audiences having anything but a good time. Jerry routinely fills the country’s biggest venues with his travelling musical medicine shows, his swaggering vocal, generous and infectious smile and that fantastic vaudeville moustache.
‘The Songs & Tall Tales of Jerry Fish’ is an intimate, stripped-down, theatre style show in which Jerry performs his favourite songs from a career spanning over two decades.
Adm: €20. Booking essential.
