Liam Ó Maonlaí, Kevin Burke and Tim Edey plot nationwide jaunt

Fans of trad all over the country are in for a treat in the New Year, as a trio of virtuoso musicians team up to hit the dusty trail.
A 12 date tour will see Liam Ó Maonlaí (pictured), Kevin Burke and Tim Edey cover the length and breadth of the country in January. Ó Maonlaí achieved enormous success as part of the Hot House Flowers, but it may be in the traditional realm that his star shines brightest; joined by the mesmeric fiddler Burke and the highly-decorated Edey on guitar and melodeon, the shows promise to be a top-notch way to begin 2016.
