Alyth is a highly respected interpreter of s ong and a long-standing featured singer with The Chieftains. Joining them is multi-instrumentalist\, composer and producer Graham Henderson. This p erformance showcases an exceptional trio of artists each of whom is renown ed for their deep musicality and innovation. \nÁlyth and Tríona have sha red a deep and enduring artistic connection. The late Paddy Moloney of  The Chieftains  described their album Red & Gold as “From the heartl and of Ireland to the shores of the Island of Lewis\, Tríona Marshall and Ályth McCormack have created a beautiful blend of harp music and song — showing how closely related our music and songs are.” \nThat musical relationship has now evolved with the addition of Graham Henderson\, who is producing their remarkable new album\, Time to Leave the Darkness. Hen derson has enjoyed a distinguished career collaborating with icons like S inéad O’Connor\, Dónal Lunny\, and Iarla Ó Lionáird. His unique per spective adds a rich new layer to Ályth and Tríona’s already distincti ve sound creating new textures that define their new album and will be bro ught vividly to life in this concert. \nÁlyth and Graham’s creative par tnership has flourished over recent years\, unearthing deeply personal son gs that resonate with the universal themes of love\, loss\, empathy and un derstanding. The process has been profoundly cathartic\, resulting in musi c that speaks with honesty and depth and in a shared desire to bring that experience to audiences too. \nSimilarly\, Tríona and Graham are united b y a deep love of sound\, texture and musical colour. This fascination push es them to trace the edges of their instruments’ expressive possibilitie s. Combined with the remarkable clarity of Ályth’s voice\, the trio has developed a distinctive musical language that is new whilst also rooted i n the traditions that have shaped them \nDate: Thursday 24th September\nTi me: 8pm (doors 7:30pm)\nVenue: The Sugar Club\, 8 Leeson Street Lower\, Du blin 2\, D02 ET97\nTickets: Book here. \nBy contrast and as a complement to the Sugar Club presentation\, Tríona will perform a solo concert at Ra thfarnham Castle on Thursday 8th October.  Playing with the mastery of a virtuoso and the voice of a storyteller\, the harp comes to life in her ha nds. She will deliver a performance that invites the audience into an inti mate musical space\, where every note is meaningful\, and the surprising d epth of a single instrument is revealed with colour and vitality and a tim eless music that feels authentic and powerful.
