Ultan O'Brien & Martin Green

Martin Green of Lau; accordionist, mad scientist, and Ivor Novello winning composer brings this new Project with Ultan O’Brien to Birnam Arts.

Expect a beautiful trip into the unknown for this rare experience to see them perform together.

County Clare fiddle player Ultan O’Brien (John Francis Flynn, Skippers Alley, Slow Moving Clouds) stands at the forefront of the exciting new-wave of Irish trad.

In the spirit of Lankum, The Gloaming and other trailblazing artists of this era, Ultan is firmly rooted in the visceral raw energy of Irish music, whilst pushing against it with contemporary improvisations and extended techniques.

His debut album “Dancing The Line” became an instant phenomenon amongst traditional musicians and at this special performance audiences will have the chance to experience some of that album live.
