Using teapots, saws, bicycles, milk jugs, bones, dollies and decapitated French hunting horns as instruments, their ethereal twin-edged blood harmonies form the distinct and unique creature that is Twin Headed Wolf.
“Ó Raghallaigh’s particular achievement is that he has stimulated a new move towards avant-garde experimentation in Irish traditional music, and demonstrated that it is possible to step entirely outside of the genre and back again – and that the process enriches both worlds.” – Toner Quinn, The Journal of Music.

SUN SALON: THE WITCHING HOUR MIDDAY | €10 THE MAIN GUARD | ❿ curated by kathy scott the ireland : iceland project | the trailblazery
A conversation exploring the pull of the Otherworld; In Celtic mythology, the Otherworld is the realm of the dead and the home of the deities and other powerful spirits. We want to cast some light on the shadowy realms that have inhabited the psyche through story, music, performance and conversation. This event is inspired by the local story of Bridget Cleary -“the last witch burned in Ireland”, immortalised in a children’s rhyme: “Are you a witch or are you a fairy, Or are you the wife of Michael Cleary?”.
Join Angela Bourke, author of The Burning of Bridget Cleary: A True Story, visual artist Alice Maher and Manchán Magan in conversation about the role of folklore and superstition in Irish tradition, and whether or not belief in the existence of a parallel fairy world still influences the Irish imagination today. We will be joined by musical guests Linda Buckley and Laura Sheeran.
