Multi-instrumentalist Michael McGoldrick has been playing traditional Irish music since his early childhood days. By his mid-teens, McGoldrick had become so enthralled with his music that he was already playing with one of Manchester's beloved Celtic-rock bands, Toss the Feathers. His craft at playing the flute was absolutely exciting and moving; his incredible folk-rock contributions led him to work to other bands such as Afro Celt Sound System and Capercaillie. Michael will perform in Christ Church following a worldwide tour with Mark Knopfler.

Noel O’ Grady presents an evening of Irish Culture in Song and Story
Location: Dublin City Hall
Time: 8.00pm (doors 7.30pm)
Tickets: €15
A four-time Oireachtas na Gaeilge winner for traditional singing in Irish, he firmly believes that poetry and music combined can penetrate the heart, and sometimes reach that sacred place within – the soul. His evocation, through song and story, of the lives, loves, works, songs and times of such cultural Irish luminaries as James Joyce, John B. Keane, Patrick Kavanagh, Thomas Moore, William Butler Yeats, Brendan Kennelly, Seán O’ Casey, Luke Kelly and more, is unique. His debut album, The Enchanted Way, was described by poet Brendan Kennelly as “The words of music and love at their most enchantingly beautiful”. Author Jane Urquhart described Noel’s singing as “Superb, musically and emotionally”. A delightful evening awaits.

Mick began his musical education on the Uilleann pipes in the renowned Thomas Street Pipers Club in Dublin.

He later joined Na Pionairi Uilleann, an organisation founded to promote piping, where he absorbed hundreds of tunes and refined his technique. His playing can be heard on numerous recordings with artists such as The Dubliners, Frankie Gavin and the RTE Concert Orchestra. Mick has toured extensively and given master classes throughout Europe and North America. His highly acclaimed solo CD of traditional Irish music; "May Morning Dew" was released in 1996.
