Two world-class banjo trailblazers. One unforgettable night.
This October, 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗢’𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗲 and 𝗥𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 join forces for a special Belfast show as part of their UK & Ireland tour. Bringing together Irish folk, bluegrass, Americana and stunning vocal harmonies, this is far more than a concert... it’s a meeting of musical worlds.
Damien, celebrated for his groundbreaking work in folk music and with 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝗯𝘆, meets Ron’s iconic sound shaped through decades with 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗿𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘀 & 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. The result? Brilliant musicianship, soaring songs, rich traditions and serious craic.
Expect dazzling playing, heartfelt vocals, and a performance packed with energy, soul and style.
Not duelling banjos... 𝗰𝗼-𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘀. 🎶
Having wowed audiences at festivals including Celtic Connections, HebCelt and Cambridge Folk Festival, this is a rare chance to catch two masters sharing one stage in the intimate surroundings of The Black Box.
If you love live music with heart, heritage and firepower... don’t miss this one.
