Their Gaelic names translates as “the wedding of the Sun god”, or maybe just “the festival” of Lugh, celebrating wheat and the harvest season. Lúnasa, an Irish super group, best represent their country’s music tradition. Since 1997, their creative arrangements and bass groove have been pushing the tradition of the Shamrock Isle towards surprisingly new territories. Their performances perfectly fuse music and dance, resulting in moments of either great lyrical intensity or high impact and sheer energy, both deeply, unmistakably Irish. The “long night” will then proceed with the suggestions created by more extraordinary guests, like Birkin Tree, on stage for 30 years and the only Italian band to perform Irish music regularly in Ireland.
