Ultan O'Brien & Mick Foley at Fennelly's of Callan

On the back of their incredible new album 'Dancing the Line', on Nyahh Records. Ultan O'Brien will bring their blend of experimental and traditional fiddle playing to Callan, Co. Kilkenny. Ultan has played and recorded with people and bands such as Skipper’s Alley, Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, John Francis Flynn, Slow Moving Clouds, Cuar, Laura Jurd, Martin Green, Natalia Beylis and Nic Gareiss. When playing solo, Ultan plays an alternatively-tuned alto fiddle with depth and the growl coming out of the instrument. There’s been a great spirit of improvisation and innovation in Irish fiddle players of the past and Ultan has been massively inspired by the likes of Nell Galvin, Tommie Potts and Neilidh Boyle, just to mention a few.
