Get your tickets for Damien O’Kane & Ron Block Band (ft. Michael McGoldrick) ⭐🎶

Steeped in music, Damien grew up in Coleraine, gaining a deep respect and understanding of the folk tradition, alongside a healthy appetite to explore its every edge. Even though they are an ocean apart, Ron Block of California is somehow the banjo sibling of Damien, seemingly cut from the same cloth. Both celebrated musicians, they have performed with the likes of Grammy award winning Allison Krauss and Union Station, Kate Rusby and Flook to name a few. Following the successful release of their debut album together in 2019, the pair immediately began recording new work for the album Banjophonics, released in July 2022. The full band is on the road for this October tour, and what a band it is. Ron on banjo, guitar and vocals, Damien on tenor banjo, tenor guitar and vocals, Duncan Lyall on double bass and moog and Stevie Byrnes on guitar and stomp. If that wasn’t enough, they will be joined by special guest - BBC Radio2 Folk Award winner and founding member of Lúnasa, Michael McGoldrick. It’s going to be special. Come along!
