Glenfarne Community Gala 2024 invites you to join us in a Variety Show night dedicated to the memory of the legendary Gerry Finneran.

On Friday August 2nd three of Ireland’s most accomplished musicians, each a virtuoso in their own right will take to the stage in the famous ballroom of Romance in Glenfarne.

Damien Mullane has been described as a virtuoso with an Avant-garde style of playing. Damien has won numerous All-Ireland titles on both accordion and melodeon and began his professional career as the accordionist in the legendary Frankie Gavin’s band De Dannan. Damien has toured extensively, performing as far afield as China, Australia, New Zealand, India and the U.S in some of the world’s most prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Slane Castle, The Electric Picnic, Radio City Music Hall, 3Arena and Glastonbury. He has performed for numerous high profile figures including US President Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton, Prince Albert of Monaco, former Irish president Mary Robinson and current Irish President, Michael D Higgins. Damien has also collaborated musically with the likes of Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones), James Taylor and Sting (Police), Bill Whelan (Riverdance), to mention a few.

“Playing Irish traditional music is what I love to do and the real joy comes from the spontaneous musical energy created between a group of performers—particularly when there is a musical respect between all.”

This is especially true when Damien plays with his good friends Conor and Eugene, three sensational performers who have Irish traditional music and song running through their veins. Their commitment to artistic excellence continues to inspire and elevate the world of Irish music leaving an indelible mark on the hears of audiences everywhere."
