WE BANJO 3
The Hawk’s Well Theatre is delighted to welcome back We Banjo 3 - a dynamic and rousing group that has been taking both sides of the Atlantic by storm, carving a reputation as a hugely imaginative ensemble.
Comprised of two sets of siblings - brothers Edna Scahill ( tenor banjo, vocals) and Fergal Scahill ( fiddle, viola, dobro, percussion, guitar, mandolin, vocals) and brothers Martin Howley ( tenor banjo, mandolin, vocals) and David Howley ( lead vocals, guitar), along with Trevor Hutchinson on bass.
We Banjo 3 finds a natural symmetry as well as a cohesive chemistry that’s been imbued in the band ever since they were initially drawn to one another by their common creative interests.
Inspired by the traditional Irish and Americana music they heard growing up, they placed three banjo players in the mix in the beginning, eventually diversifying their sound while broadening their boundaries as well.
Wednesday, May 24th is a night not to be missed, tickets are available now from the box office on: 07- 91- 61518. Tickets are € 18/ 15 conc. 9 U18’ s.
