This time, we will have the bonus of hearing his wonderfully expressive fiddle playing in the beautiful acoustic setting of our favourite venue, St Mary’s Church Guildford. Ryan will be accompanied by Gillie O’Flaherty on guitar.

Gillie O'Flaherty honed his skills at the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music…
