Music Network’s September 2021 tour features the keenly-anticipated traditional/electronic music collaboration of vocalist Iarla Ó Lionáird, harper and sound artist Úna Monaghan, and cellist Kevin Murphy. The trio will perform together for the first time on this 16-date tour running from 1st – 19th September.

Renowned vocalist and member of supergroup The Gloaming, Iarla Ó Lionáird is one of Ireland’s most distinctive voices. A master of the Sean Nós singing tradition, his instinct for seeking out new ideas while guiding songs along musical pathways distinguishes him as a true pioneer. Úna Monaghan is a highly respected harper and sound artist, who constantly challenges the boundaries of her instrument using electronic technologies. Slow Moving Clouds’ cellist Kevin Murphy, a skilled collaborator who has been the inspiration behind many imaginative projects, will join Monaghan and Ó Lionáird in what promises to be a memorable series of performances.

Music Network has commissioned the trio to collectively write a new work which will be premiered as part of the touring programme.
