About the show
The Johnny Quinn Macs
Francis McIlduff | John McSherry | Brendán Quinn
_
Born from a chance meeting at the 2022 Féile Trad Trail, this Belfast trio captures the raw, "session-room lift" of traditional music. Recorded in just 16 hours at Redbox Studios, their debut album delivers a high-energy mix of trad and modern tunes, anchored by Brendán’s poignant songwriting. With dual pipes, soaring whistles, and a driving bodhrán pulse, they bring the grit of a live session to every stage.
