Pierce has always been influenced by Turlough O’Carolan, the harpist from Sligo. They say that he married Irish traditional music to Italian romanticism. The Chieftains could’ve been his band. But they were Seán Ó Riada’s band instead.

Many, many, of Pierce's songs have been influenced by Irish baroque composers, like O’Carolan and Ó Riada. Also by Seán’s son Peader, and his beautiful male choir-especially evident at the gorgeous Shane MacGowan funeral in Tipperary.

This will be a unique and sacred evening of music to behold in the intimate Wexford Arts Centre. Limited seating. Book in Advance.
