Arrive early for kai & the best seats
Fresh Mata beers, ciders, RTDs & non-alc options available“An interesting and intriguing collection from a tunesmith, instrumentalist and composer, Dave Flynn is a name to conjure with and Draíocht is very definitely worth an open-minded listen” – Irish Music Magazine
“Draiocht is Gaelic for magic, and it certainly suffuses this solo debut…He closes with an interesting, slow version of Drowsy Maggie that brings out the delights of the tune to round out an album that is, yes, magic” – Sing Out! Magazine
