Gerry O'Connor Recital - June 7th
Witness a master at work. Join world-renowned banjo legend Gerry O’Connor for an exclusive, intimate acoustic recital. Strictly limited.
Gerry O’Connor: A Master of the Banjo in Recital
The Skerries Trad Weekend is honored to present an extraordinary afternoon of music with a true icon of the instrument: Gerry O’Connor.
From his benchmark solo album Time to Time to his work with folk-rock pioneers Four Men and a Dog, Gerry has spent decades redefining what the tenor banjo can do. This is a rare opportunity to step away from the big festival stages and experience his virtuosity in an intimate, acoustic setting where every note and nuanced flick of the plectrum can be heard.
A Career Without Equal: Gerry’s musical journey is legendary. He has recorded and toured with a "who’s who" of global music, including The Dubliners, Sharon Shannon, Christy Moore, and rock superstar Joe Bonamassa. Whether it’s the driving rhythm of The Galway Girl or the blues-infused energy of his own compositions like Funk the Cajun Blues, Gerry’s playing is marked by a unique soul and technical brilliance.
The Performance: In this special recital, Gerry will strip back the layers to showcase the pure, resonant sound of the banjo. Expect a masterclass in style and storytelling.
Strictly Limited Capacity: To maintain the intimacy of this acoustic performance, tickets are strictly limited. Do not miss this chance to sit in the front row with one of the greatest instrumentalists Ireland has ever produced.
