Although based in Dungarvan, County Waterford, the band’s members come from the Munster counties of Waterford, Cork, Clare and Kerry. Each member brings their own unique style to the band and combined, they have toured over six continents and are delighted when they get to come together to perform as Taobh na Mara.

The Fleadh Nua concert will prove to be a feast for the ears with an array of toe-tapping music combined with the beautiful singing of Michelle Rattigan. The band will be joined on the night by set dancers and world champion step dancers for a show not to be missed.
