The celebrated partnership of “one of the UK’s greatest guitarists” with “the doyenne of Irish harpers” and recipient of Irish music’s most prestigious award, Traditional Musician of the Year (Gradam Ceoil TG4), has toured in twenty-three countries on five continents to venues ranging from the tiniest of village halls to palaces in Kyoto and Istanbul, London’s Barbican, Sydney Town Hall and Cologne's Philharmonie.
