About the event

Ministry Of Folk feat. Sean Kelly and The Super 8's, Moon Goose and Hoop.
We have a very special Ministry of Folk lined up for you in August. Come along to a beautiful old hall, BYO drinks and snacks and settle in for a magical intimate evening of acoustic music.

Sean Kelly & Friends will present their unique show of live Irish music played to the back-drop of Super 8 movies taken by Sean's Dad, a renowned Cine enthusiast, in and around Derry & Donegal 1958-1988. The show features Sean Kelly on vocals, whistles, bodhran and guitar, and Jono Lonie on fiddle and electric mandolin, with Maree Limpus looking after the video backdrop (as featured on BBC Northern Ireland). As well as the professional music and visual delivery, Sean will present an authentic dialogue on a tumultuous time in the history of Derry, Donegal and the north of Ireland. This entertaining show will entertain but also enlighten and leave you with that elusive sense of wonder.

We're also very excited to have young and uber-talented duo Moon Goose back by popular demand! They'll warm your heart with their intricate harmonies and beautiful folk-scapes. Get ready to be swept away by stories of magic and mystery as Holly Dove (guitar and vocals), together with Britta Hamill (fiddle and vocals), share songs collected from travels around England and Scotland, weaving them together with their own spine-tingling music. Their enchanting and hypnotic new EP (On the Island Where Our Shadows Lie) is out now on streaming services and is a firm favourite at MOF and in the wider folk community.

The Ministry's 5-piece host band Hoop will start off the night. Expect to hear sweet harmonies and feel-good songs about life and love, with the odd political and social commentary thrown in for good measure. The band features Al Baxter (vocals, guitar, harmonica, banjo), Nick Edgar (vocals, guitar, flute), Emily Allen (violin, viola), Glenn Coldham (bass) and Gary Hunt (percussion) filling in for drummer Rusty Knox.

Come along to another joyous celebration of local music.
