This year, Irish Wings returns to Paxos with an evening that promises to be unforgettable. Headlining is the legendary Liam Ó Maonlaí, the heart and soul of the Hothouse Flowers, with his deep, stirring voice and inexhaustible musical spirit. Joining him are Bright Phoebus, the Greek-Irish ensemble from Irish Wings, and an exceptional group of artists from Ireland and Greece:
🎻 Dónal O’Connor – violin, musical director
🎤 Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh – vocals, flute (sean-nós)
🎤 Chrysoula Kechagioglou – vocals
🪕 Alexandros Kapsokavadis – lute, guitar
🎵 Efi Zaitidou – kanun
🎸 Ilias Dendias – bouzouki, rebetiko
Two traditions from the far corners of Europe. A stage beneath the sky of Paxos.
“Paxos has a way of slowing everything down; you feel the history, the sea, the stories, and the music responds to all of that.” — Dónal O’Connor
