Thursday 13th November 2025 @ 7.30pm

I first saw the name of the band Gatehouse on a poster in Matt Molloy's pub in Westport, County Mayo several years ago. Intrigued, I set about finding out more about them and liked what I heard very much. However, it became quite a quest to finally book them; unreliable agents, the need for several bookings in order to make a trip over from Ireland viable.......but finally, they are here!

If you’re looking for music that captures the soul of Ireland, look no further than Gatehouse. With a line up that includes Rachel Garvey (Vocals), Jacinta McEvoy, (guitar and concertina) John McEvoy (fiddle and Mandola), and John Wynne, (flute and whistles), this talented group skilfully blend the rich traditions of Irish music with their own unique sound.

Gatehouse

Gatehouse are an Irish traditional band. The four members are Rachel Garvey (Vocals), Jacinta McEvoy (guitar and concertina), John McEvoy (fiddle and mandolin) and John Wynne (flute and whistles). Since getting together the band have gained a reputation for their tasteful interpretation of traditional songs and vibrant instrumentals, combining “masterful technical proficiency” with “vocal numbers where the sparkle glows”. The band have toured extensively, drawing audiences into their world of infectious rhythms and soothing vocals. Their subtle instrumental interplay, innovative accompaniment and enchanting vocals refreshes the ear and provides a unique insight into the roots of their tradition. “Gatehouse is obviously steeped in tradition but also very cognisant of stylistic innovations” Boston Irish.
