Born in Donegal, Arthur began playing music at the age of eight and found international success in 1979 when The Furey Brothers and Davey Arthur become one of the biggest folk acts ever to come out of Ireland. In 1992, Davey left the Fureys to pursue a solo career, and became recognized in his own right as one of Ireland's most phenomenal musical exports. In 1999 he was awarded his place in the Irish Music Hall of Fame.
From her first vocal prize at the age of eight to her current rising international success, Fionnuala Gill has been captivating audiences at home and abroad.
While completing a degree in Psychology at Trinity College Dublin she was a founding member of the choral group Anúna – the original ensemble of Riverdance recognized internationally for its interpretations of Irish and sacred music. Her studies then took her to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, where, as winner of the prestigious Sean Connery Bursary, she completed an MA in Vocal Performance.
Gill’s international career gathered momentum when she was asked to tour as lead singer with Riverdance, with which she performed throughout the US, UK and Europe.
The concert is Friday, July 30 at 8pm and tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door.
