Jigs & Reels & Drums

Things are going to get pretty noisy at the NCH over the next few days. First up are Kodo, the internationally renowned Japanese drum ensemble who’ll be drumming up a storm on Sun 14 March as part of their European One Earth Tour. Our own Kilfenora Ceili Band take to the stage on Tues 16 for a lively foot-tapping session of traditional Irish jigs, reels and polkas, with dancing honours going to Michael Donnellan, 4-times World Irish Dance Champion and one-time Riverdancer. And on the great day itself, Wed 17 March, St Patrick’s Festival presents A Celebration of Irish Voices, featuring the brilliant Donal Lunny and two of Ireland’s leading choirs from the Sean-Nos tradition, Cor Taobh A’Leitheid, led by Dominic Mac Giolla Bhride, and Peadar O Riada’s Cor Cul Aodh. www.nch.ie www.stpatricksfestival.ie
