Irish trad music legends to take to Birr stage

Two titans of Irish traditional music—Frankie Gavin and Noel Hill—are set to grace the stage at Birr Theatre & Arts Centre later this month.

Frankie Gavin, a prodigious fiddler who played for JFK at just six years old, co-founded the legendary De Dannan and has collaborated with icons like The Rolling Stones and Stéphane Grappelli. His virtuosic flair and world-record speed have captivated audiences worldwide.

Noel Hill, hailed as the master of the modern concertina, transformed the instrument's role in Irish music. From the house dances of County Clare to global stages, his emotive playing and dedication to teaching have inspired generations.

Together, Gavin and Hill promise an evening of unparalleled musical mastery, weaving reels, jigs, and haunting airs into a tapestry of Ireland's rich heritage.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness two living legends in concert.

Frankie Gavin and Noel Hill play on Sunday, July 20. Tickets €23 (+booking fees). Doors open 7.30pm
