Folk singer Emer Dunne is heading to Tipperary for Bank Holiday weekend

There is a real folk treat in store for all music lovers in Carrick-on-Suir this June Bank Holiday, with the annual Clancy Brothers Music and Art Festival taking place from May 31 to June 2.

Among the great line-up, rising star and folk artist, Emer Dunne and her group are hitting the stage in Brewery Lane Theatre on Thursday June 1 for a show of great music to both listen to and sing along with.

Enjoy the timeless, meaningful folk songs including ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’, ‘Sweet Sixteen’ and ‘Grace’ alongside some contemporary surprises.

This is a show packed with variety and vitality, with Emer described by Hot Press as "an entertainer through and through".

After the release of her debut folk album, ‘Hourglass’ produced by the renowned Bill Shanley (Mary Black, Paul Brady) this singer has been described as "a definite rising star" by Irish Music Magazine.

According to Emer: “We are really looking forward to coming and performing in Tipperary and being part of this great festival. The Clancy Brothers put folk music on the map and sang many of the great folk songs that have stood the test of time.

"We look forward to performing in this lovely theatre and meeting with the audience. The show is packed with well-loved folk songs and there is something for all to enjoy”.

Emer will be joined by the skilful guitarist Eamonn Moran and seven times All-Ireland Flute champion, Robert Harvey. All three professional musicians have a wealth of experience.

Emer's voice and songs are gaining great traction following her performance on RTE’s Today Show, and with frequent radio play on national and regional stations including RTE's Ronan Collins Show, and Radio 1's Rising Time.

Emer has received great reviews from Irish Music Magazine, Hot Press, Irish Country Living, RTE's Behind the Music, Irish Independent and more.

From singing at the Celtic Ball in Rome at the tender age of ten, across Europe and Japan with an Irish dance troupe, to the release of her debut folk album 'Hourglass', Emer's voice is soaring to new heights.

She released two number one hit singles from her album 'Hourglass’, and her crystal clear voice and entertaining nature on stage have also led to her successful theatre tour in Donegal, Longford, Leitrim, Kerry, Mayo and Laois, with rave reviews. 

Most recently Emer has just finished touring with renowned folk act, The Fureys, culminating in a final performance at Vicar Street in March.

She is also working on her own headline performances and other festivals this summer, including being selected for Forest
Fest this July.

Tickets for her Carrick-on-Suir show cost €18.50.
