Brian Finnegan’s mastery of the whistle and flute, and his ability to compose melody entirely unique in resonance and identity, have positioned the Armagh man as a highly regarded, and significant voice in traditional Irish music. Frontman with pioneering bands Flook and Kan, he has also worked with artists as diverse as Cara Dillon, Bebel Gilberto and Ed Sheeran, and for the past decade he’s toured Russia and the Far East alongside Russian Poet Laureate, Boris Grebenshikov. He comes to The Duncairn in March with an electrifying line-up featuring former Kan bandmates, Aidan O’Rourke, Ian Stephenson and Jim Goodwin, with the sensational Sligo songstress Niamh Farrell.
