Linda Buckley, Irene Buckley, Rose Connolly, Niall Vallely, Neil Martin
The programme also features David Fennessy’s ‘The blue-eyed lassie’ from his recent Fidelio Trio commission and two works by the late Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin specially dedicated to the trio; (must be more) Crispy! (Ó Súilleabháin/Mercier) and Fidelio Unsung.
