We’re delighted to be supporting the Baltimore Fiddle Fair live at The Sugar Club this November - bringing the magic of the festival to Dublin for one very special evening, with a stellar line-up including the long-awaited return of Bumblebees! 🎻
The 2026 line-up brings together three outstanding acts from Ireland and across Europe.
Väsen - the internationally acclaimed Swedish folk duo, whose virtuosic musicianship and innovative approach to traditional music have earned them a worldwide following.
Duo Ruut - the remarkable Estonian duo whose distinctive combination of two voices and a single zither creates an extraordinary, hypnotic sound.
Bumblebees - the legendary Irish band, making their first Dublin appearance in many years. Their long-awaited return adds a very special homecoming element to an evening celebrating the breadth, creativity and enduring appeal of traditional and roots music.

We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Paddy Keenan, and by the loss of Desi Wilkinson a few months ago - two wonderful musicians who shared the road with us over the years.
We were privileged to tour with Paddy on uilleann pipes, alongside Dermot Diamond on fiddle, Charlie Harris on accordion and John Lyons on vocals in April 1989.
Then in May 2005 Desi joined us on tour on the flute, alongside Máirtín O’Connor on accordion and Brendan O’Regan on bouzouki.
We remember Paddy and Desi for the amazing music and memories they shared with us and with audiences along the way.
Their music and the mark they left on the Irish traditional music community will live on.
Our heartfelt condolences to their families and friends.
💫We're just a few days away from the first tour of our Autumn Season, continuing our 40th anniversary celebrations with a dynamic new collaboration featuring four of Ireland's most outstanding traditional musicians, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Pauline Scanlon, Tom Morrow and John Doyle.
Together this dynamic quartet will weave new interpretations with time-honoured tradition in an evening of exquisite harmonies, fiery instrumentals and musical storytelling at its finest.
