A music moment to remember unfolded in a Dublin pub for Midlands Irish trad group Shillelagh Law on Thursday night when the trio were asked to play with US singer/songrwiter sensation Zach Bryan.

The American country artist is in the capital for three shows in the Phoenix Park, the first of which takes place tonight (Friday).

The popular Midlands band comprises Adam Kelly, Chris Leonard and Eilis Murphy and sang with Bryan during his version of Bruce Springsteen's 'I'm On Fire'.

The Midlands trio will bring their unique trad sound to a global audience soon with dates confirmed for Germany, USA, Canada, Japan, China, Vietnam and Singapore.

Listen to their jamming session with Zack Bryan here.
