UPCOMING EVENTS

We are closed for summer break from the 17th of July until the 1st of August - no Knit Night in August

Wednesday 20 August - Muireann Ní Shé (uilleann piper and singer) and Aoife Blake (harpist, fiddler and singer) 8 p.m. €20 on Eventbrite

Muireann Ní Shé is an uilleann piper and singer from Co. Cork, currently based in Waterford. Muireann ‘represents something of a convergence of propositions - part of a wave of female musicians taking the uilleann pipes into the current-day revival, she pairs the instrument’s depth and presence with her own prowess in sean nós-inspired vocal stylings, interweaving their niceties and nuances on debut album ‘Éistigh Liomsa Sealad” (Evening Echo).

Aoife Blake is a harper, singer and fiddle player from Co. Galway, based in Cork City. Although rooted in Irish music, draws influence from other traditions, especially Scottish and Old-Time. Her playing and arrangements reflect her love for the purely traditional, as well as more contemporary sounds, all of which can be heard on her album ‘The Green Hills’ (2020).

Together, Muireann and Aoife explore their shared musical language by weaving voice, pipes, harp, and fiddles into a sound rooted in tradition yet delicately innovative. We are delighted to be hosting this intimate performance.
