John McSherry Quartet with Niamh Ni Charra

Saturday 16th January 2010, 7.30pm

Oran Mor

With his formidable technique and superb improvisational flair, uilleann piper and whistle player John McSherry has been hailed as “a true master” by Irish Music Magazine. His multi-talented quartet is completed by the brilliant fiddler/pianist Dónal O’Connor (son of Gerry O’Connor and Eithne Ni Uallachain), Francis McIlduff (bodhran, uilleann pipes and low whistles) and Tony Byrne on guitar.

Killarney-born fiddler and concertina player Niamh Ni Charra – currently a member of Carlos Núñez’s band – was a Riverdance soloist for eight years before releasing her debut album On Da Thaobh/From Both Sides to ecstatic reviews in 2007. “A musician at home with music of any hue.” (Irish Times)

Please note that all patrons must be over the age of 14 and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
