Eugene, Daniel, James, Sinéad, Peter, Ciarán and Catríona, or The McKenna Family from Augher, Co. Tyrone are 7 siblings steeped in Irish traditional music for 4 generations. Their sound reflects a deep innate musical bondage that only siblings with a shared musical upbringing can exhibit.
The siblings are highly sought after and celebrated as both solo musicians and as a family band. They have toured Ireland, Europe and the USA and have made guest appearances on numerous TV and radio broadcasts such as RTÉ’s Late Late Show, Geantraí (TG4), Fleadh Live (TG4), and Céilí House.
This special concert at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann will heavily feature music from the McKenna’s 2026 debut album The Boys Of Carrickroe which is a tribute to their granduncles, the late fiddlers Pete and Pat McKenna. The album draws much from their musical lives and in part, draws directly from old recordings and repertoire pertaining to them.
They will be joined by Caoimhe Mulligan, a dynamic and prolific séan-nós dancer from Dublin, proudly carrying forward the rich legacy of the Mulligan dynasty — a family steeped in music for five generations.
Rooted in place and family, this afternoon concert will showcase the finest of traditional music, song and dance in the heart of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter.
