14th April 2018 at the Irish Cultural Centre, Hammersmith, London W6.

Country: Ireland. Style: Traditional Irish Folk.

Lineup: Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (fiddle/v), Gearóid Ó Maonaigh (g), Anna Ní Mhaonaigh (whistle/v), Ciarán Ó Maonaigh (fiddle), Nia Byrne (fiddle/v), Caitlín Nic Gabhann (concertina/dance), Manus Lunny (bouzouki/v).

Growing up in Gaoth Dobhair, County Donegal, the children (Mairéad, Gearóid, Anna) of fiddle player Proinsias [Francie] Ó Maonaigh learned from their father. They started again playing together more regularly in 2014, and have recorded an album with other family members - Nia (Mairéad's daughter), Ciarán (Gearóid's son), Caitlín (Ciarán's wife) - and the only non-Moonie - neighbour (and producer of the album) Manus Lunny. Most songs had Mairéad, Anna and Nia singing together, but there was also a rare opportunity to hear Lunny do one. I have photographed many of the group with other bands (e.g. Altan, Fidil, Ciarán & Caitlín, Capercaillie). To view click on the musicians name in my tags.
