SUMMARY:Workshop with Alannah Thornburgh | Boyne TradFest
DESCRIPTION:Workshop with Alannah Thornburgh | Boyne TradFest\nInstrumental Workshops take place on Saturday 19th September 2026\nfrom 11:00am – 2:00pm in St. Oliver’s Community College\, Drogheda (A92 D766). \nAlannah Thornburgh is an award-winning instrumentalist and composer from the wild west of Ireland with a focus on traditional Irish harp. Alannah’s music explores her family heritage\, reimagining melodies from the Irish harping and American folk & jazz traditions. This cross-genre interaction and juxtaposition of old melodies with contemporary harmonies and technique is interwoven throughout her music\, described as being ‘unforced\, fluid and utterly at home in her own sound’ (The Irish Times). In February 2025\, Alannah released her debut album ‘Shapeshifter’ – a collection of compositions inspired by fairy folklore & mythology in rural Ireland (“Sublime debut from Mayo composer” 9/10 – Hot Press). Alannah was awarded ‘Best Folk Instrumentalist’ at the 2025 RTÉ Folk Awards and was also awarded Musician-In-Residence at Carnegie Library\, Fingal County Council / Music Network where she composed a suite entitled ‘The Thinning Veil: Haunting Tales & Tunes of Fingal’. Alannah also received the Traditional Arts Bursary 2025 for her collaborative compositional project ‘An t-Alltar’\, due for release in 2027. \nVisit www.boynetradfest.ie for registration ✨

SUMMARY:Harp Sessions at The Sugar Club | Tríona Marshall\, Ályth McCormack & Graham Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed Irish harpist Tríona Marshall will perform with Scottish singer Ályth McCormack. Alyth is a highly respected interpreter of song and a long-standing featured singer with The Chieftains. Joining them is multi-instrumentalist\, composer and producer Graham Henderson. This performance showcases an exceptional trio of artists each of whom is renowned for their deep musicality and innovation. \nÁlyth and Tríona have shared a deep and enduring artistic connection. The late Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains  described their album Red & Gold as “From the heartland of Ireland to the shores of the Island of Lewis\, Tríona Marshall and Ályth McCormack have created a beautiful blend of harp music and song — showing how closely related our music and songs are.” \nThat musical relationship has now evolved with the addition of Graham Henderson\, who is producing their remarkable new album\, Time to Leave the Darkness. Henderson has enjoyed a distinguished career collaborating with icons like Sinéad O’Connor\, Dónal Lunny\, and Iarla Ó Lionáird. His unique perspective adds a rich new layer to Ályth and Tríona’s already distinctive sound creating new textures that define their new album and will be brought vividly to life in this concert. \nÁlyth and Graham’s creative partnership has flourished over recent years\, unearthing deeply personal songs that resonate with the universal themes of love\, loss\, empathy and understanding. The process has been profoundly cathartic\, resulting in music that speaks with honesty and depth and in a shared desire to bring that experience to audiences too. \nSimilarly\, Tríona and Graham are united by a deep love of sound\, texture and musical colour. This fascination pushes them to trace the edges of their instruments’ expressive possibilities. Combined with the remarkable clarity of Ályth’s voice\, the trio has developed a distinctive musical language that is new whilst also rooted in the traditions that have shaped them \nDate: Thursday 24th September\nTime: 8pm (doors 7:30pm)\nVenue: The Sugar Club\, 8 Leeson Street Lower\, Dublin 2\, D02 ET97\nTickets: Book here.
