Brendan Begley

Workshops & Concert

A genial giant from the Dingle peninsula in County Kerry, Brendan is a well known and accomplished performer of Irish traditional music on the button accordian, touring at home and in Estonia, Finland, Sweden and France. He is a member of the 'Boys of the Lough', first touring with the band as a guest in the 1980's in the USA, and full-time member since 1997.

Brendan's exciting dance music, sensitive emotional playing of slow airs on accordion, and his singing in his native Irish make him a favorite. He is acclaimed in Ireland for his TV presentations of traditional music on the Irish language channel TG4.

Brendan will be presenting tunes from his new solo CD - Fé Scáth/In The Shadow.
