Many Halifax storytellers already familiar with musicians Mossie Scanlon and Cian O Morain from County Kerry. Cian is also a great storyteller, and gave a wonderful workshop on Irish epic stories for us several years ago. Mossie is a sean-nós singer. Sean-nós is a highly ornamented traditional style of solo, unaccompanied singing in Gaelic.

They are joined for this concert by Finbarr Condon-English from Co.Tipperary. During his formative years, he spent some time learning Classical and Jazz music in London. Finbarr's first love however, is Traditional Irish music, being resident violinist at Brú Ború, Cashel, Co. Tipperary for many years. This position has presented multiple musical missions to foreign shores, acting as a cultural ambassador. Such audiences have included The World Expo Shanghai 2010 and Millan 2015 (accompanying the President of Ireland on both occasions), EU summits in Brussels and Dublin castle as well as tours to Lesthoto, Swaziland and Mozambique. Finbarr plays for Irish Set Dancers, and we may see a couple of sets during the evening.
