David Murphy and The Ether Ensemble
Bantry, Co. Cork
21 November 2025
David Murphy and The Ether Ensemble appear in Bantry as part of West Cork Music's Autumn/Winter 2025 Concert Series.

David Murphy takes the pedal steel guitar outside the confines of its traditional roots with frequent ventures into a range of genres, spanning Americana and folk to ambient, experimental music and film soundtracks.

His debut album ‘Cuimhne Ghlinn: Explorations in Irish Music for Pedal Steel Guitar’ recasts ancient Irish harp tunes and historic airs into the 21st century with the swelling, expressive and mournful sounds of the pedal steel guitar.

This live show presents these ancient Irish harp tunes and historic airs by O’Carolan, O’Riada et al in the 21st century, voiced by the mysterious and emotive sound of the pedal steel guitar and accompanied with his band Ether Ensemble.

Admission: €20 full price €16 student €10 child (u.16)
