Tha iad a’ cleachdadh dhòighean ùra, eadar-dhealaichte san dòigh-cluiche aca agus tha luchd-èisteachd air a bheò-ghlacadh leis na tionndaidhean air fuinn thraidiseanta air an stèidheachadh ann an cultar na fìdhle Dhùn nan Gall. Thathar ag ràdh mu FIDIL: “A trio of undeniable range, vision and chops. Ciarán O’ Maonaigh, Aidan O’Donnell, and Damien McGeehan are recalibrating how the sound of the fiddle is received and perceived in Irish traditional music and are charting new territory for the instrument in the process”.

From Co.

Audiences are captivated by breath-taking arrangements of traditional tunes coupled with a depth of lore of the Donegal fiddle tradition. Described as “A trio of undeniable range, vision, and chops. Ciarán O’ Maonaigh, Aidan O’Donnell, and Damien McGeehan are recalibrating how the sound of the fiddle is received and perceived in Irish traditional music and are charting new territory for the instrument in the process”.
