The Johnny Quinn Macs with Assynt
Experience the Scottish debut of THE JOHNNY QUINN MACS, a spectacular trio forged from the very heart of the contemporary Irish traditional music scene!
The Johnny Quinn Macs is the powerful collaboration of three phenomenal musicians: JOHN MCSHERRY, BRENDÁN QUINN, and FRANCIS MCILDUFF. What started as an electric, improvised session at Belfast’s Féile Trad Trail in 2022 quickly evolved into a dedicated musical project. The immediate, intense rapport between the artists was so strong that they recorded their album, _FÉILE LIVE_, in just sixteen hours of live, single-take playing.
The trio delivers a confident, high-energy set featuring traditional tunes and Brendán’s contemporary songwriting, all driven by duelling uilleann pipes, soaring whistles, rock-steady grooves, and interweaving harmonies. Don't miss this opportunity to see one of the most exciting new Irish ensembles-a firm favourite on the live circuit-as they make their highly anticipated debut visit to Scotland!
