Instruments include the fiddle, whistle, bodhrán, guitars, harmonica, uke, sax, bass and drums, so you can expect a live music experience, unlike any other.
Phoenix is a band hailing from Sligo, Ireland. Performing a fusion of a variety of genres, from folk to rock to pop, they pride themselves in their ability to play a wide range of music.
Composed of instruments ranging from the banjo to the saxophone, they have incredible versatility and a huge passion for playing music.
They are thrilled to be performing at the upcoming Ballyshannon Folk Festival on August 2nd, and look forward to playing some of their favourite tunes, including some original music too
