Peadar Connor 'Debut' Concert

Peadar Connor is a 22 year old multi-instrumentalist and composer who’s work is primarily rooted in traditional Irish folk. Equally as inspired by traditional figures like John McSherry as he is art pop, electronic and classical such as Bjork and Ryuichi Sakamoto, he aims to fuse non-traditional harmony, modes and textures with traditional form. With compositions that blur the line between the traditional and beyond, his music is as ethereal and atmospheric as it is driving and groove-focused, blending fragility with forward motion. Through fiddle, clarinet, whistles and electronics he creates a vision of traditional Irish folk that feels simultaneously grounded in the tradition and otherworldly, past genre conventions.

After graduating from Queen’s University Belfast with a bachelor’s degree in music performance, he launched his first EP “Debut” at The Duncairn in October 2025. Joined by two fantastic musicians, Phil Acheson (Le Chéile) and Sean Turner (Lír), he brings the music of “Debut” and more to the Old Church Centre, Cushendun.
