Where Traditions Meet
A journey through story, music and song
Finding Magic is about the magic created in the meeting of traditions, where shared stories, songs and tunes extend our horizons to new places.
It is also about moments — the moment the heart skips as the tune takes off, or the smile of recognition as the cascade of notes forms its spell and sparks the memory of home, or childhood, or love.
Come and join us for an evening celebrating the folk traditions of Ireland and the UK, in the company of musicians who have lived these traditions in their playing.
Mandolin · Shruti box · Vocals
Drawn to the mandolin early, and going ever deeper into its expressive range. Sometimes, as mandolin and fiddle combine, each becomes part of the other.
Bouzouki · Stomp · Vocals
His touch on the bouzouki unites the ensemble as the morning mist unites earth and sky — equally happy playing melody or driving accompaniment.
Fiddle · Vocals
An ornate and beautifully decorated style that transports us to a place of ritual and celebration. Nobody resists tapping a foot, or the plaintive notes of an ancient air.
Guitar · Bodhrán · Vocals
Draws past and future together with recitation, singing and guitar. We walk the ancient roads with him as he sings of everything precious and profound.
A few minutes of the four of us playing together will do more than any amount of description.
