Jazz twins continuing series of online gigs
HUGELY talented Falcarragh twins Micheál and Conor Murray kept spirits up in the community and beyond with their popular weekly Facebook livestream from the Shamrock Lodge from October to December.
Funded the Donegal County Council in place of the cancelled third Falcarragh Winter Jazz Festival, they were joined by Armagh-born drummer David Lyttle, one of the island’s most celebrated instrumentalist, a MOBO Award nominee hailed by the national international press as Ireland’s leading jazz musician.
With a local and international following over 10 weeks, they featured several additional special guests, including acclaimed Irish singer Christine Tobin. They will return to the Shamrock for another four weekly livestreams, again funded by Donegal Country Council, before recording their debut album under a government Music Industry Stimulus Package grant.
