Fiddler Kevin Burke, box player Dermot Byrne, singer Noriana Kennedy and Jim Murray come together for a traditional Irish music concert at the Seamus Ennis Arts Centre. Kevin Burke and Dermot Byrne are both long-established names on the Irish trad circuit, Burke through decades with bands including the Bothy Band and Patrick Street, and Byrne through Altan among others, so this is a lineup with serious pedigree for anyone with an interest in fiddle and box playing specifically.
The venue itself, named for Naul-born piper Seamus Ennis, is a fitting home for a night like this: a small, purpose-built arts centre that leans heavily into traditional and folk programming alongside its wider theatre and comedy bookings. It’s a genuinely good option for anyone in north County Dublin who wants a proper trad night without heading into the city, and sits within a run of similar acoustic and folk dates at the centre through September.
The centre’s intimate scale means there’s rarely a bad seat in the house, which matters for a show built around this level of musicianship, where the interplay between fiddle, box and voice is a big part of the appeal. Anyone with an interest in Irish traditional music beyond the big-name touring acts would do well to keep an eye on the wider TSEAC programme, since it regularly books musicians of this calibre in a room this size.
The Naul is a village in north-west Fingal, roughly midway between Balbriggan and Ashbourne. It’s best reached by car, with parking available at the arts centre, and is around a 45-minute drive from Dublin city centre or 20 minutes from Balbriggan and Swords.
