So sorry to hear of the sad passing of Moya Ní Bhraonáin. Moya and her band played a beautiful gig in Ballykeeffe Amphitheatre in 2005.

Moya enjoyed her visit and described it as 'áit draíochta' a magical place.

Deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

Great night on Monday! Many thanks to everyone involved 🥳
