Concert Schedule 2026

It's been a long and arduous road, but after intensive rehabilitation with the help of two wonderful hand therapists, Máire is delighted to be able to play the harp again after multiple right-hand injuries in May 2025 put her out of action. We are so much looking forward to getting back to playing concerts in 2026 - starting at Dorking Folk Club, Surrey, on 28 January!
