Sirius Arts Centre presents an evening with legendary Accordion player Charlie Piggott, originally from Cobh Co. Cork, and one of the founding members of Dé Danann and The Lonely Stranded Band. He toured extensively with both bands and later as a solo artist.  For this special one night only event, Charlie teams up with esteemed Kerry fiddler Gerry Harrington. Gerry is well known in Kerry/Cork music circles and to the Irish-American music fraternity, Gerry's music was brought to a wider audience during the nineties through the release of two exquisite albums.

“ Charlie Piggott and Gerry Harrington are both excellent players of the traditional music with individual reputations to prove it, and when they play as a duet it is special; a natural coming together of skills and sensitivities with a respect not simply for the notes and phrases of which tunes are made, but also for the tunes themselves." Peter Browne.

Charlie and Gerry released The New Road in 2000 which was well received and highly acclaimed.
