Oran Kelly, a familiar face at Dublin’s O’Donoghue’s, will perform alongside his three colleagues on Saturday, October 11, at 8pm. The ensemble, which he formed, specialises in traditional and folk repertoire, reflecting the vibrant Trad scene that pulses through the Irish capital.

The group, known as the Bath Street Boys, comprises Oran—son of the late Tommy Kelly—alongside Marty Barry, Oisin Duffy, and Aidan Quigley. Their instrumentation ranges from accordion and concertina to fiddle, keyboard, and guitar. The band’s name pays homage to Dublin’s Bath Street, the home of one of its members.

Tickets for the performance are available through Eventbrite, promising an evening that blends virtuosity with the warmth and conviviality of Ireland’s musical heritage.
