A lover of ballads, love songs and searing versions of social justice songs, fond of a good yarn, she has toured the world making deep connections with her audience via Ireland’s past while crucially repositioning women and songs in a universal and a modern setting. She has released twelve albums and collaborated with diverse musicians such as Maura O’Connell, James Taylor, Bela Fleck, Boston Pops Orchestra, Kate Ellis, Niall Vallely, Pauline Scanlon, The Chieftains, The Dubliners, Peggy Seeger, Karen Matheson, Mick Flannery, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Tim O’Brien and Solas.Niall Vallely has established himself as one of Ireland’s most significant musicians and composers. His performance career, has brought him all over the world playing with the likes of Nomos, Buille, Karan Casey, Paddy Keenan, Tim O’Brien and Jazz legend Cassandra Wilson. His tune compositions have been recorded on more than 80 albums, some going on to become ‘standards’ in sessions throughout the world.Niwel Tsumbu is a virtuosic Congolese-born, Ireland-based guitarist. He has created a unique and exhilarating style drawing on influences as diverse as jazz, classical, rock, folk and rumba. At times Tsumbu’s music is a deep emotional well, drawing joy and sadness from universal human waters."Karan Casey’s latest album is revelatory. She’s always been a singer of songs that tell a story and show their muscle…This is a strikingly three-dimensional work that stands the test of intensive and repeated listening with ease. A vivid and dazzling snapshot of Casey invincible, at the height of her powers.”SIOBHÁN LONG, IRISH TIMES"Casey is, of course, one of the great singers in Irish music and this new album is filled with utterly gorgeous original songs that show she is an artist still at the top of the game. “Nine Apples of Gold” is a hard hitting, take no prisoners sort of album. The music is gorgeous and it speaks directly and supportively on a range of issues that I think will resonate very strongly with many. “Nine Apples” is made of gutsy stuff and I dig it. You will too."IRISH ECHO“Casey’s voice is among the loveliest in folk music and she’s a wonderful interpreter of both contemporary and traditional material.”BOSTON GLOBE https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a9213a80-5622-11f1-8ff9-19a22203edf4-rimg-w494-h740-dc8fabba-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/manchester/karan-casey-trio/100001984075270544 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, concerts, art, fine-arts, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 16+ - door_time: 2026-05-29T18:30:00Z - Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes - Location: The Parrs Wood - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 25, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Manchester - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Parrs Wood - **lat**: 53.41610739999999 - **long**: -2.2210227 - **full address**: The Parrs Wood, 356 Parrs Wood Road, Manchester, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Karan Casey Trio - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/d704feeef4ef82a5e8dc5d5db14a41f1c3fdb925bbd033f444684132804d064d-rimg-w1200-h767-dc111111-gmir.jpg?v=1772800649 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Karan Casey Trio being held? - **A:** Karan Casey Trio takes place on Fri, 29 May, 2026 at 08:15 pm to Fri, 29 May, 2026 at 09:25 pm at The Parrs Wood, 356 Parrs Wood Road, Manchester, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Karan Casey Trio? - **A:** Karan Casey Trio is strictly for guests aged 16 and above.
