Roisin Mc Grory (nee Harrigan) is from Inishowen Co.Donegal. Growing up in Burnfoot, she was exposed to the rich culture and music of Inishowen and Donegal. With her brothers Paul Harrigan (piano accordion and uilleann pipes) and Damien Harrigan (fiddle) Roisin has performed and taught at festivals and events throughout Ireland, Europe and America.

Roisin teaches traditional music in Inishowen and Derry and is a co-funder of the Inishowen Traditional Music Project(ITMP) established in 1999. Influenced by the work of Cairdeas na bhFidiléirí, in Donegal, ITMP was set up to promote and preserve the music of Inishowen. The project holds annual events such as workshops, concerts, collaborations, exchange visits, recitals, talks and has produced two commercial recordings of Inishowen musicians Seamus Grant and Dinny Mc Laughlin.

In September 2016 Roisin released her debut album, 'The Brae Road' a collection of music with strong Inishowen and Donegal influences. Along with some new compositions the album is a collection of music drawn from musicians that have influenced Roisin's playing over the years.

Roisin will be accompanied on the night by Colm O'Caoimh (guitar), Paul Harrigan (accordion) and other special guests.

Is as Inis Eoghain i gCo. Dhún na nGall do Roisin Mc Grory (née Harrigan). D'fhás sí suas i mBun na hAbhann, agus chuir sí aithne ar chultúr agus ar cheol saibhir Inis Eoghain agus Dhún na nGall. Lena deartháireacha Paul Harrigan (pianóchairdín agus píb uillinn) agus Damien Harrigan (fidil) bhí Róisín ag seinm agus ag teagasc ag féilte agus ócáidí ar fud na hÉireann, na hEorpa agus Mheiriceá.

Bíonn an ceol traidisiúnta á mhúineadh ag Roisin in Inis Eoghain agus i nDoire agus ba chomh-bhunaitheoir í ar Thionscadal Ceol Traidisiúnta Inis Eoghain (ITMP) a bunaíodh in 1999. Le spreagadh ón obair atá déanta ag Cairdeas na bhFidléirí, i nDún na nGall, bunaíodh ITMP leis an cheol a spreagadh agus a chaomhnú in Inis Eoghain. Eagraíonn an tionscadal imeachtaí bliantúla, ar nós ceardlanna, coirmeacha ceoil, comhshaothair, cuairteanna malartacha, cainteanna agus tá dhá thaifeadadh tráchtála déanta de na ceoltóirí Seamus Grant agus Dinny Mc Laughlin as Inis Eoghain.

I mí Mheán Fómhair 2016 d'eisigh Roisin a céad albam, 'The Brae Road', cnuasach ceoil le blas láidir Inis Eoghain agus Dhún na nGall. Chomh maith le píosaí nuachumtha tá ceol ann atá bailithe ó cheoltóirí a ribh tionchar acu ar sheinm Roisin le himeacht na mblianta.

Beidh Colm Ó Caoimh (giotár), Paul Harrigan (cairdín) agus aíonna speisialta ag seinm le Roisin ar an oíche.
