Strictly 18+ / BYOB

Peadar Connor is a 22 year old multi-instrumentalist and composer who's work is primarily rooted in traditional Irish folk. Equally as inspired by John McSherry and other trad as he is art pop, electronic and classical such as Björk and Ryuichi Sakamoto, he aims to fuse non-traditional harmony, modes and textures with traditional form, bringing his own colour to the genre. With compositions that blur the line between traditional and otherwise, his music is as ethereal and atmospheric as it is driving and groove-based, blending fragility with forward motion.

Through fiddle, clarinet, whistles, piano and electronics he creates a vision of traditional Irish folk that feels simultaneously grounded in the tradition and otherworldly, past its genre conventions. A 2025 Queen's University graduate in Music Performance, he is a confident, capable and commanding performer, 

On his upcoming 1st EP, 'Debut', he draws from a wide range of influences including glitch, impressionism, Klezmer, jazz and filters them through a traditional lens. He combines ethereal and odd harmony with sharp and intentional melodies to create unique and boundary pushing trad.
