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!

Workshops are recorded, so you can register and receive the video afterwards even if you can't attend in person. The cost is "Pay What It's Worth To You" so all can attend. (But we can't run the program if most people only pay a dollar... so please support at the level you're able.)
