The Saturday night concert commences with Irelands DARREN BRESLIN from Lisnaskea Co. Fermanagh.

9pm
Next to the stage is FINBAR FUREY - legendary singer with the Furey Brothers and Davey Arthur. Finbar Furey tours extensively, bringing his rare talents to a world-wide stage and treats audiences to evenings of pure Irish magic, great music, good humour, and the charm and sparkling wit associated with one of Ireland's great raconteurs.

He comes from a unique pedigree - an all Ireland Uillean Pipe Champion and whistle player, singer/songwriter as well as playing 5-string banjo, and guitar.

After touring with The Fureys(brothers Paul and George) for many years, In 1993 Finbar decided the time was right to take a break (for the time being at least). It was the ideal climate in which to step aside and pursue his solo career, to present his definitive one-man show and to explore new pastures as a singer, producer and writer

10.30pm
To end the eveneing we have the CORRIAS, were formed as a band earlier this year when the individual members were among a large number of young musicians who featured in the hit TG4 series, Lorg Lunny.

The band members come from throughout Ireland and many of them are either current or past students of some of Ireland's most renowned music colleges.

These 8 young musicians were invited by maestro Dónal Lunny to create a new band with a fresh, new unique sound in traditional music. Creating a sound that is a hybrid of both new and old traditions.
