Trad Night - Tuesday 3rd March



The Maguire BandThe Maguire Family Band


Philip Maguire and his three children Emma, Aoife and Seán live in a house where 'it’s very rare for an hour to pass..without someone playing music'! The Maguires all started playing traditional Irish music at a young age and music became the focus of family life in the Maguire household. As the children’s musical ability developed and their repertoires expanded, the joy of ensemble playing unleashed a whole new range of musical possibilities. Not only was it important to play a tune here and there, it was important to sit down with the rest of the family and arrange tunes into sets of tunes which worked well together and to introduce variations and harmonies into the sets. The Maguire kids are all multi-instrumentalists and with a variety of influences from their various teachers in different instruments, there’s never a shortage of new material to work on. They embrace music across many different genres but trad music always come first. We also hear their Mammy Tracey makes amazing cakes so we hope she makes an appearance too! For more info on their music and upcoming gigs check out their website here.
