Ceolchoirm Dé Céadaoin (Wednesday Concert)

“Hayes – as open-minded as he is open-eared – sees tradition not as something static, but as a living and ever-evolving art form, and clearly relishes Sanna’s ability to weave in textures and hints of other musical styles and genres.”

“In Martin Hayes’ hands, the fiddle is not merely an instrument but very much a part of his body, the bow an extension of his arm, while his fingers flutter delicately at the other end of the violin’s neck. Together with Kyle Sanna, the pair create beautiful sonic landscapes, visions of the old but given an otherworldly edge. Kyle’s sublime bass notes provide a solid platform from which Hayes can launch his soaring fingerboard runs and reach deep inside our souls.”
