About the series:
Presented by Una Healy and Loah, and produced by South Wind Blows, the shows bring together the crème de la crème of performers in Ireland for rousing musical sessions, many of whom have not performed on stage since the beginning of the pandemic. Irish Women in Harmony, Mick Flannery, The Saw Doctors, Soda Blonde, Niamh Regan, Rhiannon Giddens, Crash Ensemble, and many more will entertain viewers from the beautiful surrounds of The Round Room at the Mansion House.
A new summer music series that caters to all musical tastes and will celebrate the old, the new, the loved, and the familiar. There’s a wide range of genres represented from pop, folk, rock, classical and traditional. Each episode in the six-week Saturday night run of shows features a segment that pays tribute to and celebrates a national treasure who’s no longer with us, with tributes including performances in honour of Phil Lynott, Dolores O’Riordan, Shay Healy, Ronnie Drew & John Prine.
