Experience a new ‘take’ on Irish harping from some of our foremost young harpers. Cruit Éireann|Harp Ireland’s Sugar Club Harp Sessions continue throughout 2025 and feature innovative, cutting-edge Irish harp performances from a variety of players, pushing the boundaries of the tradition in new and exciting ways.
Our opening concert on Saturday 22nd February features Harpanno, with Irish harper Aisling Lyons joined by Dale McKay and Conor Broderick in a new-age genre of music combining traditional Irish harp and piano with the meditative sound of the handpan. Harpanno’s music is calming, tranquil but yet energetic, and takes you on a journey through newly composed handpan melodies, layered percussion sections, blissful harp riffs and vibrant piano passages.
Harpanno's support act is the winner of the Sean Ó Riada bonn óir, Lily O’Connor.
Lily O’Connor is a multi instrumentalist from Ballygriffey Co.Clare. She comes from a musical family and plays regularly with her mother Frances Custy, founder of Custy's music shop, and sisters Eve and Maisie. She learned to play the concertina from Mary McNamara and Liam O'Brien, and the harp from Fionnuala Rooney.
