Ceol traidisiúnta ☘️

Join us on November 3rd for a night of traditional Irish music from Co. Louth and Co. Clare with the potent playing of Gerry O’Connor, Seán Gavin, and Don Penzien. 🇮🇪🎶

With Gerry’s unmistakable fiddle playing, Seán’s masterful piping and flute, and Don’s rhythmic and sensitive DADGAD guitar, the trio draws on musical traditions stretching from County Louth and Clare to the Irish music communities of America. 🎻 🪈 🎸

What they share most is a love of the music itself—great tunes, thoughtful arrangements, and the kind of musical conversation that happens when experienced players listen closely to one another. The result promises to be lively, spontaneous, and firmly rooted in the tradition. ☘️
