Dé MÁirt 21 Lúnasa Dermot Byrne, Florian Blancke & Brendan O Regan

Ó thaobh Dermot Byrne de, níl mórán a sháros é ar an domhan chláir mar chnaipchairdíneoir. Tá sé aitheanta mar bhall den ghrúpa chlúiteach Altan agus seinnte aige le plúr na gceoltóir ar fud an domhain. Tá a CD Dermot Byrne ar thús cadhnaíochta ó thaobh ceoil de agus tá ráchairt mhór ar an dhlúthdhiosca céanna seo.

Is í an Fhrainc tír dúchais Floriane Blancke agus tá sí ina cláirseoir, ina fidléir, ina pianódóir agus ina ceoltóir den scoith, ar chuir ceol dúchasach na hÉireann faoi gheasaibh í le cúpla bliain anuas. Is gariníon í den cheoltóir snagcheoil Stanislas Suranyi, agus tá stíl Ghiofóg na nUngárach le haithne ar a gcuid ceoil i gcuideachta le tionchar Martha Blancke, veidhleadóir clasaiceach Francach.

Tá aithne mhaith ar Bhrendán Ó Regan dá thairbhe an bhuaigh atá aige ar an bhasúcaí, an maindilín agus an giotár. Tá clú chomh maith ar mar chumadóir/ ceoltóir agus bhí sé ina bhall de ghrúpaí iomráiteacha macasamhail De Danann agus Dolores Keane Band. D’obair sé agus thaifead sé ceol le thairbhe chuile ceoltóir traidisiúnta clúiteach sa tír, ina measc Martin O’ Connor, Sharon Shannon, Mary Black, Matt Molloy, Vinnie Kilduff, Gerry O’Connor, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, The Waterboys agus tréan eile ina gcuideachta.
