The trio’s journey in music is steeped in history. Conneff vividly recalls his early days in the 1960s, hitchhiking to traditional music festivals across Ireland. “We slept in hay barns and ate tins of Denny’s stew!” he reminisced. His passion for the genre led to the establishment of the prestigious Tradition Club in Dublin, where he showcased extraordinary musicians from around the country.

Fans can expect a blend of traditional tunes and engaging performances, with McKenna also showcasing his skills on accordion and various whistles. As Conneff stated, “Once we get going, we really enjoy ourselves.”

The Dublin Trio’s concert is not just an event; it’s a celebration of resilience and the enduring spirit of Irish music. Conneff reflected on the recent losses in the music community, including his longtime collaborator Paddy Moloney and fellow musician Seán Keane, stating, “It’s very sad.” Yet, the trio’s spirit remains strong, honoring their legacy through their music.

Following the weekend concert, Conneff will also lead a workshop titled An Evening of Song and Rhythm on September 22, 2023, providing fans with an intimate opportunity to engage with the music that has defined his career.

This weekend’s performance is expected to draw significant interest, making it a must-see for fans of traditional Irish music. Tickets are selling fast, and attendees are encouraged to book soon to secure their spot at this remarkable event.
