BANK HOLIDAY MINI-FEST

August 1st Saturday

A visual and musical spectacle: Anúna
Be enchanted by the beautiful, mystical and spellbinding sound of Anúna's unique performance style and ethereal, haunting music (primarily written or arranged by the group's founder, composer Michael McGlynn), has garnered an enormous international following.

The group easily slips between Celtic/World music and Classical genres and their audience can be as diverse as the acts that they have collaborated and worked with – Elvis Costello, Sting, Michael Crawford, Barry Manilow, and Sinead O’Connor to name just a few.

Anúna comes from the Irish An Uaithne, the collective name for the three ancient types of Irish music Suantraí [lullaby], Geantraí [happy song] & Goltraí [lament].

Bus will leave from Kilkenny Hotels for concert. Cost €30 for bus /concert ticket. Contact 087-6261134
