SUMMARY:Mairtín O Connor Trio in Concert at Ballydehob Tradfest 2025
DESCRIPTION:Mairtín O Connor\, Cathal Hayden and Seamie O’Dowd will be performing with the Mairtín O Connor Trio at Ballydehob Tradfest 2025\n\n\nVirtuoso accordion player Máirtín O’Connor\, named Ireland’s 2015 Traditional Musician of the Year\,(TG4 Gradam Ceoil Awards)\, brings his remarkable trio to the Ballydehob Tradfest for the second time having performed to a sell-out audience at Ballydehob TradFest 2022. \n \nGalway virtuoso Máirtín O’Connor’s accordion playing and range of compositions have been dazzling audiences for over 30 years\,” proclaimed the Irish Examiner upon Máirtín’s award in February\, 2015. \n \nHe is joined by Séamie O’Dowd\, a defining member of Dervish for over a decade and a brilliant guitarist and singer\, and the astonishing fiddler and multi All-Ireland champion Cathal Hayden (Four Men and a Dog). \n \nIndividually recognized figureheads of the Irish tradition\, the trio has built a reputation for their astounding virtuosity and vitality. The trio will appear at the Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville\, North Carolina and the Savannah Music Festival as well as other venues. \n \n“Irish traditional music’s own ‘power trio’\,” wrote Earle Hitchner in The Irish Echo. “These three mean business and achieve art. Bravo.” \n \nMáirtín O’Connor is one of the most respected and best-loved musicians ever to emerge from Ireland. One of the main musical forces behind the now legendary Riverdance phenomenon\, through his work with De Dannan\, Midnight Well and Skylark and also as a solo artist he has quite simply gone where no Irish accordion player had gone before. Born and raised in County Galway\, Máirtín began playing the accordion at the age of nine\, inspired by his paternal grandparents who both played the instrument. His music reflects traditional Irish music as well as the wonderful swing of the 1920s Flanagan Brothers\, Parisian musettes\, Cajun music and Eastern European tunes. His career has included recordings with Rod Stewart\, Elvis Costello\, Mark Knopfler\, the Waterboys (Fisherman’s Blues CD)\, Tanita Tikaram\, Townes Van Zandt\, and The Chieftains. \n \nWith Cathal and Seamie\, Máirtín’s trio redefines concepts of Irish music. They play with a rare vitality and virtuosity\, using sophisticated arrangements and elements of swing\, bluegrass\, and more. Their formidable musical relationship has lasted over a decade\, with two albums released: ‘Crossroads’ in 2009\, and 2012’s ‘Going Places’\, which features Australian guitar whiz Tommy Emmanuel—with whom the O’Connor Trio toured—on one tune. \n \n“The versatile trio have managed to bottle the essence of their dynamic live shows\, on their eclectic new album Crossroads\,” raved Siobhan Long in The Irish Times. \n \nThe Máirtín O’Connor Trio has recently been touring as the band for the great Irish singer Christy Moore. The trio also toured the U.S. for three seasons (2011-2014) as members of Martin Hayes’s Masters of Tradition\, drawing standing ovations for their dazzling sets in venues from Symphony Space to UCLA’s Royce Hall. The trio has toured extensively through Ireland\, Great Britain\, Europe\, and more recently in Australia and New Zealand.

SUMMARY:Ryan McMullan
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nWriting songs and then touring the world with them: that’s the dream for any singer songwriter. And for many years that was the dream that Ryan McMullan was chasing. The Portaferry native is blessed with a voice that can shift effortlessly between the ethereal and the guttural\, and a prodigious songwriting talent to match. Since the early days of his career he garnered significant attention from industry heavyweights\, including Ed Sheeran\, who called Ryan’s voice a ‘rare jewel’\, and Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol\, who likened his voice to that of an angel. From playing in stadiums supporting Ed Sheeran\, to a string of hit singles\, and selling out headline tours throughout the UK and Europe\, Ryan’s rise was nothing short of extraordinary. \nIn 2022\, just after lockdown\, Ryan was poised on the brink of stardom\, ready to release his debut album Redesign and embark on a world tour that would surely secure his place as an artist with real staying power. There was even a film made documenting the album-making process: Debut directed by award-winning filmmaker Brendan J. Byrne and shown at Galway Film Fleadh and on the BBC.  \nBut suddenly Ryan had to cancel everything due to a severe mental health crisis.  \nIn his own words: ‘When Covid hit\, I was left with a huge hole in my life. My identity felt like it had been taken from me and during that initial six-month period I felt imprisoned in my own home. But we were all in it together and that’s what I continued to tell myself to keep the demons at bay. In 2021\, we were allowed to tour again and this was my chance to start to put things right again within myself. Calling the tour The Margarita Tour probably tells you just how far away from putting things right I actually was\, and all of a sudden\, not only had I lost myself\, but I was running away and completely spiralling out of control. Then it came time to release the album\, something written an entire lifetime ago. I was spent and I knew it.  \n‘At this point something had to give. And it did. I had my first ever panic attack while trying to say my wedding speech. I knew I couldn’t go through with releasing the album and touring. Running away hadn’t worked; I needed to face it and speak to someone. I spent the following six months in therapy and it turns out\, therapy really works\, because in 2023 I felt a shift occur. I knew I owed it to everyone to at least try. So that spring I decided to tour. I needed to know if I was really done. I owe a lot to the audiences that came to those shows\, because the truth is they brought me back around on this music thing. I felt an ownership and obligation to the debut album. I mean\, it had a documentary made about it! I sat down one night and listened to it front to back. Somehow this five year old\, out of time album that I felt had nothing to say for so long was speaking loud and proud. I listened to it through the week and it never diminished. It kept talking. The fog had lifted and it was time to pick up the phone and get back to work.’ \nThe version of Redesign that you hear today is down to a recalibration of Ryan’s sound and aesthetic\, but it also refers to a redesign of his mind\, too. There are undoubtedly some upbeat pop bangers on Redesign\, not least fan favourite ‘Bowie on the Radio’\, a song that Ryan holds dear to his own heart\, the gleeful canter of ‘Us’\, and the rousing ‘Real Love’\, a song that came about when Seán Óg Graham and Niamh Dunne of Northern Irish folk band Beoga invited Ryan to their studio in Portglenone\, Co. Antrim to write. The session went so well that Graham was soon installed as the producer of the new version of Redesign. \nThe sensitive side to Ryan’s songwriting is exposed in songs like ‘Flailing’\, which was written in an anxiety-riddled evening in front of the TV\, in ‘Monarch’\, written as a tribute to his mum after a falling-out\, and in ‘Episodes’\, a song containing the telling line\, ‘I feel like I’m drowning in all my famous friends. \nHaving already established himself as a talent to be reckoned with\, even bigger things await Ryan McMullan once Redesign is finally released on August 26th. Writing an album about love in its various forms – love for his family\, his new wife\, his friends or even his business associates – has aptly set the scene for an illustrious future\, and there is talk of how album number two will take another creative leap forward.  \nLet’s leave the last word to Ryan himself: ‘So with all that said\, here comes an album\, an EP\, and then another album after that. And I’m only getting started. It’s good to be back. Thanks for your patience!’
