The evening also features bonus Radiohead/Thom Yorke tracks ‘The Eraser’ and ‘Spectre’ and is introduced by Reinout Douma explaining how the project came about.

From his iconic early recording of the vision song “Aisling Gheal” as a young boy to his ground breaking recordings with Dublin's Crash Ensemble and New York’s Alarm Will Sound, Iarla O'Lionáird has shown a breadth of artistic ambition that sets him apart in the Irish Music fraternity. He’s a child of traditional music, born and bred in the belly of the West Cork Gaeltacht, with Seán Ó Riada a neighbour and indisputable early influence; and his great aunt, traditional singer Elizabeth Cronin, who forged a reputation for rich interpretation before him.
Promising to be a very memorable and unique concert, this is an inspired pairing of twice Grammy nominated vocalist Iarla Ó Lionáird with renowned pianist/composer Cormac McCarthy and acclaimed clarinet maestro Matthew Berrill. An exciting, moving and dramatic new ensemble coming together to explore Iarla’s rich and varied repertoire through their compelling transcendent interpretations.
