ICE – The Irish Concertina Ensemble

I have been enjoying some gigs lately with the Irish Concertina Quintet, or ICE as we call ourselves! In the group I am honoured to play alongside some of my favourite concertina players ever – Tim Collins, Micheal O Raghaillaigh, Caitlín Nic Gabhann and Padraig Rynne. We are currently in the process of recording our debut album which is due for release in April 2015 and look forward to our next gig which is in City Hall, Dublin, as part of the Temple Bar Trad Fest on 29th January… Watch this space!
