We were delighted to have mixed the audio for this upcoming documentary. 📺 Particularly pleased with this piece as it was filmed during a storm ⛈ with gale force winds 💨 & a tumultuous and crashing 🌊 Atlantic sea nearby. 🔊 🎙 Beautiful performance by the legendary @iarlavox

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Moya Brennan. A pioneering voice who brought a unique sense of beauty and depth to Irish music worldwide, particularly through her work with Clannad.

Suaimhneas síoraí ort a Mháire. 🤍

We were commissioned by @UlsterUni to create a unique collaborative performance for @Schwarzenegger’s visit to Belfast.

Led by Artistic Director @doconnormusic, an exceptional line-up of artists was assembled, alongside powerful choreography from Ciarán Connolly and his dancers.

The piece reflects Arnold’s Austrian roots and iconic cinematic career, reimagined through the lens of Irish traditional music and dance.

‘Carolan’s Receipt for Drinking’ with Neil Martin at the 20th annual Patrick Byrne Festival.

Drawn from the repertoire of the blind Oriel harper Pádraig Dall Ó Beirne, this piece carries a wonderful blend of elegance and mischief from the pen of the great Turlough O’Carolan.
