Blackstairs Blues Festival

Blackstairs Blues Festival In-Person

Enniscorthy Library and Blackstairs Blues Festival would like to invite you for an unforgettable performance by Dermot Byrne.

Experience an evening of music, culture, and community in the welcoming setting of Enniscorthy Library. 

Dermot Byrne has performed in many of the Blackstairs Blues festivals including the very first festival in 1995.

He has built up a steady following over the years performing authentic renditions of classic blues and roots music as well as self-penned material. He has brought his brand of real down-home blues and roots music to venues throughout Europe and the United States.

Playing slide guitar and harmonica he is recognised as being one of Ireland’s finest interpreters of blues songs. His influences include Robert Johnson, Fred McDowell, Son House, and Muddy Waters as well as artists such as Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash.

Dermot has opened for or performed with legendary blues artists such as Eric Bibb, Long John Hunter, Steve James, Sam Mitchel, Byther Smyth,Catfish Keith, and has collaborated on several T.V. shows with Irish star Don Baker and England’s first lady of Blues, Connie Lush.
