About this event
Steeped in music, Damien grew up in Coleraine, gaining a deep respect and understanding of the folk tradition, alongside a healthy appetite to explore its every edge. Even though they are an ocean apart, Ron Block of California is somehow the banjo sibling of Damien, seemingly cut from the same cloth.
Meeting in 2012, the pair promptly decided to write a banjo album together, with the eventual release of Banjophony in 2018. There new record Banjophonics (released 1st July) is a treat for banjo fans, worldwide. The full band is on the road for this October tour, and what a band it is. Ron on banjo, guitar and vocals, Damien on tenor banjo, tenor guitar and vocals, Duncan Lyall on double bass and moog and Ali Hutton on guitar and stomp.
If that wasn’t enough, they will be joined by special guest - BBC Radio2 Folk Award winner and founding member of Lúnasa, Mike McGoldrick.
It’s going to be special. Come along!
