One of the most accomplished uilleann pipers performing today, Paddy Keenan will play a gig in The Crane Bar tonight, Wednesday 13 February, at 9pm.

Paddy, who will be performing with Tommy Sullivan, is certainly one of the most brilliant musicians of his generation. He can rightfully claim his place alongside such open-style legends as pipers John Cash and Johnny Doran.

He has few peers in the world of traditional Irish music. For over 30 years, he has focused on a simple but rarely attained goal: to present the music in its purest essence. Transcending the technical challenges of the uillean pipes, flute and tin whistle, Paddy has consistently mined the rough ore of jigs, reels and airs, worked and reworked their presentation until we, his audience, get to hear the real pure, life affirming beauty of them.

Tickets, €15, are available from The Crane Bar on Sea Road.
