This year’s opening Sugar Club Harp Sessions concert features HARPANNO (with Aisling Lyons, Dale McKay and Conor Broderick) on Saturday 22 February at 8.30pm.
Harpanno’s music is calming, tranquil yet energetic, and takes you on a journey through newly composed handpan melodies, layered percussion sections, blissful harp riffs and vibrant piano passages. They delve into a new-age genre as they combine traditional Irish harp and piano with the meditative sound of the handpan. Dale McKay (Handpan), Aisling Lyons (Harp) & Conor Broderick (Piano) all met while studying at The Irish World Academy at The University of Limerick. Don’t miss this extraordinary group of musicians at the Sugar Club! Tickets at Eventbrite now.
