<strong>Niamh Varian-Barry<\/strong> (fiddle, viola, vocals), and<strong> Kyle Macaulay<\/strong> (guitar, bouzouki) came together in early 2023 to form CUAS, a collective that performs and celebrates the wild and diverse musical traditions of West Kerry. Inspired by the emotive songs and the vibrant dance traditions of the area, the group positions the intrinsic link between listener and performer at the heart of the performance. Their debut album \u201cCUAS&#8221;, released in May 2024, is a live album recorded in front of friends and family in Seanscoil a&#8217; Chuasa. Already, the group have appeared at festivals throughout the country and on national TV including programmes F\u00e1ilte 2024 and Bl\u00e1th na h\u00d3ige. Invigorating polkas and slides, thoughtful new compositions, and native songs abound in this meeting of four of Ireland\u2019s most promising young musicians.

traditional melodies and song. Founding members of the critically acclaimed groups R\u00e9alta and Music in the Glen, <strong>Conor Lamb<\/strong> (uilleann pipes \/ whistles) and <strong>Deirdre Galway<\/strong> (guitar) supply the mesmerising melodies and driving rhythms that make Irish music so loved throughout the world. Every aspect of this is supported by <strong>Jim Rainey<\/strong>\u2019s intricate blending of melody and accompaniment on the Irish bouzouki. Rainey has toured extensively with Belfast band Craobh Rua and his powerful vocals take inspiration from both traditional and contemporary singers. Individually these three musicians from the north of Ireland are some of the best exponents of their given instruments. They have performed concerts and lead workshops at major international festivals such as Milwaukee Irish Fest USA, Lorient Interceltique Festival Brittany, Celtic Connections Scotland, Sori Festival South Korea, Temple Bar Trad Fest Ireland, T\u00f8nder Festival Denmark and The Irish Festival of Oulu Finland. Collectively, the combination of seven reeds and fourteen strings will make for a performance not to be missed.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9ca942a elementor-section-full_width esiintyja elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"9ca942a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-09a01de\" data-id=\"09a01de\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-446c3ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"446c3ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.irishfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mark-Hennessey-photo-Emilija-Jefremova-200x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-3543\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.irishfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mark-Hennessey-photo-Emilija-Jefremova-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.irishfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mark-Hennessey-photo-Emilija-Jefremova-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.irishfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mark-Hennessey-photo-Emilija-Jefremova-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.irishfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mark-Hennessey-photo-Emilija-Jefremova-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.irishfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mark-Hennessey-photo-Emilija-Jefremova-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.irishfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mark-Hennessey-photo-Emilija-Jefremova.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ea162f4\" data-id=\"ea162f4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c0cbd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3c0cbd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mark Hennessey<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b6f65b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0b6f65b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1845412 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1845412\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Mark Hennessey<\/strong> is a multidisciplinary creative and producer, working in the fields of music, dance and visual arts.
