IRISH MUSIC AND DANCE WITH “NA MOCHÓIRI” FROM IRELAND

Cian, Bríd and Emma are first cousins and best friends from Ballymacarbry, Co. Waterford. and they play regularly together. Their name “Mochóirí” is an old Irish word and means “early risers”. They all started early playing music- They have won numerous competitions and performed live on RTE Radio and Television and they all come from a musical background. I saw them on TG4 (Gaelic Television Ireland) where they took part in a music competition for families. They made it to the final round and like the Juries and the audience I was taken by the liveliness and spirit of their music and dance. So I am delighted they I found them at long last and that they are coming to Zürich for their first concert in Switzerland. They are looking forward to that.

The three musicians:

Emma Corbett (19): Accordion and Melodion

Brid Mc Magh (14): Fiddle and Sean nós Tanz

Cian Smith (14): Uillean Pipes, Flute and Sean nós Tanz

26 January 2019: Zentrum Karl der Grosse (beside Grossmünster in Zürich) 19.30
