Navá at the Hawk's Well, 7 July 2022

Not a bluegrass event by any means, but one that involves two of Ireland's most respected bluegrass musicians. Paddy Kiernan (banjo) and Niall Hughes (guitar, bass) combined in 2016 with Iranian brothers Shahab and Shayan Coohe to form the band Navá, 'weaving material from the Irish and Persian traditions into a beguiling tapestry of sound'. They will be playing at the Hawk's Well Theatre, Sligo, on Thurs. 7 July, in a concert shared with the singer/songwriter Síomha. Tickets can be bought here.
