It’d be a sin to miss James at Manchester’s Irish Festival
 Preparations
for this year’s Manchester Irish Festival are well under way with
the talented group James Cannon and The Sinners already confirmed for
the celebrations.
Cannon, son of Dubliners’ legend Sean Cannon, will be performing
with Irish folk band The Sinners as part of Tradfest on Sunday, March
9 at the M19 bar in Levenshulme.
The 10-day Tradfest runs from Friday, March 7 until Monday, March 17 and
will feature over 100 Irish musicians, singers and dancers.
The gig has been organised as a special post-Irish Parade party and organiser
Lawrence Hennigan is thrilled at securing the talented musicians for the
night.
He said: “We are really excited about putting James on at the opening
weekend.
“I am a big fan of The Dubliners and it is great to see the traditional
Irish musical heritage being passed on.
“The line up for the 10-day festival is packed with talent and the
majority of the events are free or for a nominal charge to make it more
accessible to the general public.”
James Cannon has toured extensively with The Dubliners over the past decade
and brings a wealth of experience to The Sinners as the lead vocalist
of the group.
The Barnsley-based band play a mix of traditional Irish ballads with fiddle,
banjo and mandolin as well as contemporary music from musicians such as
the Pogues and Johnny Cash
