John Carty has established himself among the elite of Irish traditional musicians.
With three solo fiddle albums, two banjo albums, two group albums, and a sprinkling of recorded tenor guitar and flute music recordings under his belt. He is also a member of the bands ‘At the Racket’ and ‘Patrick Street’. Most recently he arranged and played all the traditional music elements in the film ‘Brooklyn.’
They will be joined by pianist Brian McGrath.
He has toured extensively, playing with all the biggest names in Irish traditional music, including Frankie Gavin, Noel Hill, John Carty, Matt Molloy, and Eleanor Shanley to name a few.
