Music under the Mountains: Emer Mayock & Donal Siggins joined by Cormac Breatnach

Eric Greaves opens the 2009 Music Under the Mountains festival in the Hollywood Inn, Hollywood, Co Wicklow.

Emer & Donal kicked the music off, later joined by Cormac in a night of superb music.

The lighting was blighting for photographs, the mirror in the background was a flash nightmare, and the microphones (as usual) got in the way, but none of that affected the musicians. It was a stunning gig to open the festival and although the numbers attending were down it didn't have any impact on the music, which was all the more special as so much of it was composed by the performers themselves.

Music under the Mountains

Music Under the Mountains is a festival of traditional music and song of the highest calibre established in 1991 as a showcase for the best in traditional performers in Ireland and abroad. The festival seeks to support The Laura Greaves Music Bursary for Hollywood National School. The Bursary enables children from Hollywood and surrounding areas to receive traditional music tuition. The fund was established in 1996 in memory of Laura, who was a founding member of Music Under the Mountains. To date, in excess of 200 children have been exposed to the joys and the hard work of learning an instrument or delivering a song.
