Kilkenny Arts Festival presents For The Record
Colin Dunne, Becky Ní Éallaith & Ultan O’Brien

Renowned dancer Colin Dunne is joined by Becky Ní Éallaithe (concertina/vocals) and Ultan O’Brien (fiddle/viola) to present For The Record, a bold new live performance inviting audiences to watch music and listen to dance.

Directed by Kellie Hughes and blending music, voice, electronics, spoken word and movement, For The Record brings together three outstanding performers in a shape-shifting encounter where roles blur and no two nights unfold in exactly the same way.

With luscious sound worlds, apocalyptic footfalls and a set of unruly microphones, For The Record is a traditional music gig, but probably not as you know it.
