Band on the Wall makes its first foray into relaxed performances with this daytime event featuring a rising star of traditional Irish musician, Emma Sweeney.

Sweeney will be backed by Ben Cashell on cello, Dom Kane on guitar and vocals and Pete Mitchell on percussion for this fun, interactive experience that invites participants to get involved or just sit and listen. The event is open to everyone – both adults and children – and is particularly relevant for anyone who may find the usual concert environment challenging.

Promising a relaxed attitude to movement and noise, the show will offer visual cues, audio description and BSL interpretation.
