Folk music’s legendary triumvirate of musical magpies Michael McGoldrick, John McCusker and John Doyle are out on the road again for 2020. As winter turns to spring Mike, John and John will wrap up their stint on Transatlantic Sessions for another year and bring you their own blend of top class folk songs, tunes and charming bonhomie.
With their recently released album, The Wishing Tree this will be an evening to remember. Described as the masters of flute, fiddle, song and guitar they have worked with the biggest and brightest and bring you a night of beautifully crafted music. Having shared stages and recording studios with everyone from Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler to Paul Weller, Joan Baez and Linda Thompson, Mike, John and John are a rare musical treat you’ll savour for a very long time.
