FIDIL TO MAKE BANTRY DEBUT ON OCTOBER 8th
All hailing from Donegal, what makes Fidil’s achievement even more remarkable is the fact that they didn’t use any conventional accompaniment such as Guitars, Bodhráns, Piano’s etc. It is their diverse and groundbreaking use of fiddles coupled with the depth of lore and tunes of the Donegal fiddle tradition which make Fidil one of the most unique and entertaining ensembles in Irish Traditional
Music.
Fidil’s line-up is composed of three Donegal fiddle players; 2010 TG4 Young Musician of the Year, Aidan O’Donnell; Ciarán Ó Maonaigh, a former TG4 Young Musician of the year and nephew of Altan’s, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh; and Damien McGeehan whose unique ability to bring different sounds and technique’s to the fiddle helps see Fidil go boldly where no Trad band has gone before. This concert is presented
by West Cork Music and Music Network.
