Contemporary Irish Folk & Traditional Music

Mulligan’s Irish Music Bar is proud to host an evening with Fiachra Meek and Cillian McCabe.

Together, they deliver a powerful, nuanced performance that bridges the gap between deep-rooted heritage and contemporary folk innovation.

Fiachra Meek is a celebrated uilleann piper and whistle player, recognized for his distinctive style and technical virtuosity. As a founding member of the award-winning ensemble Alfi, Meek has been at the forefront of the new wave of Irish trad, earning acclaim for his ability to weave intricate, soulful melodies with a fresh, modern perspective.

Cillian McCabe provides the duo’s rhythmic and harmonic foundation. An accomplished guitarist and vocalist, McCabe is known for his sophisticated arrangements and evocative delivery. His driving accompaniment and command of the folk song tradition provide the perfect counterpoint to the soaring sounds of the pipes and whistle.

The Performance

This collaboration showcases a masterclass in musical synergy. From high-octane instrumental sets to thoughtfully arranged ballads, Meek and McCabe offer a performance characterized by precision, energy, and an authentic connection to their craft.

Join us for an evening of world-class musicianship in the intimate setting of Amsterdam’s premier Irish music venue.
