Concert Double Bill Steph Geremia Quartet with Dermot Byrne, Aaron Jones, Ian Carr and Boruma Trio, Eileen O Brien, Andrew MacNamara, Geraldine Cotter.
Steph Geremia is an Irish multi-instrumentalist and singer highly regarded as one of the finest traditional musicians of her generation. Perhaps best known for her vibrant and versatile Irish flute playing and as a mainstay of the critically acclaimed Irish group, Alan Kelly Gang, she has also impressed as a singer, presenting her own identity of a breathy Celtic vocal style mixed with a hint of her American roots. 2023 will welcome an exciting new chapter with the release of her first solo album fully dedicated to song. The album is produced by renowned multi-instrumentalist, John McCusker (Mark Knopfler Band) and will include a star-studded cast of musical friends and cohorts.
