Randal Bays is an internationally recognized fiddler and guitarist in the Irish tradition, whose exquisite taste, grace, and musical agility have won him wide praise both in Ireland and the U.S.
"Still best known to many for his beautiful guitar playing on Martin Hayes' early recordings, Randal is a maivelous fiddler, one of the best in the country" -The Irish Voice, New York, January 2001.
He will be joined by Aine Meenaghan from Connemara, Co. Galway and Peter Barnes, Co. Boston.

Aine Meenaghan, a native of Connemara, is one of the finest singers in the world of Irish music, whose sean nos (old-style) singing is a direct and powerful link to a centuries-old tradition. She possesses a rare repertoire of songs in both Irish Gaelic, her native language, and in English. Âme makes her home in Chicago and has performed at concerts and festivals throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Following is a note from Randal about Aine:
This is a rare opportunity to hear Aine sing, and if you're at all interested in Irish song or the Irish language, you'd love to hear her. She's a native Irish speaker, and her singing is just incredible, a direct and powerful link to a centuries-old tradition. Peter and I will be tearing it up on the fiddle, piano and guitar, so there should be something for everyone.

Peter Barnes (piano and guitar) is one of the busiest and most sought after musicians in the Boston area, averaging over 250 engagements per year since 1980. He’s a master of tasteful accompaniment, and has performed with many of the greats in Irish music, including Seamus Connolly, Joe Derrane, Cathie Ryan, and others.
