Two legends of Irish music help to bring this year’s events at An Droichead to a close tomorrow when master uilleann piper, Liam O Flynn, and top fiddle player, Paddy Glackin, perform together in concert at the Ormeau Road venue.

O Flynn, a former member of the hugely influential Planxty, has had many successful recordings and the most recent, The Poet and the Piper, was made with Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney.

Although born in Dublin, Glackin — who was the first fiddle player in seminal traditional music group The Bothy Band — is a leading exponent of the Donegal fiddleplaying style.

Meanwhile another two top musicians, Brendan Monaghan and David Muldrew, have teamed up to release the CD, The Southern Cross.

Banbridge-based Monaghan is acknowledged as one of our finest musicians and plays uilleann pipes, guitar and percussion.

Newry-born singer/songwriter Muldrew has toured worldwide, and has appeared at most major festivals.
