The band’s arrangements breathe new life into these time-honored melodies\, infusing them with their unique interpretations while preserving the essence of the traditional tunes. \nPólca 4’s performances are characterised by lively interplay between Daire Bracken (fiddle)\, Pádraig Ó Sé (vocals & accordion)\, Gary O’Brien (guitar) and Robbie Harris (bodhrán & percussion)\, creating a musical tapestry that transports listeners to the heart of West Kerry. \nThis will be their biggest Belfast show to date and you will be dancing\, we promise! \nTickets available here \n \n  \n  \n
