Kintra and Guests
Tickets: €15
Kintra are a 12 piece group from Donegal, Tyrone and Derry. Kintra perform Irish & Scottish music, song and dance in an exciting and colourful stage show. Led by Matt McGranaghan on Fiddle and Darren Milligan on Bagpipes, the group features piano, tin whistle, guitar, bass, drums, three 2nd Pipers and 2 singers.
Kintra was formed in 2008 by good friends from both communities who wanted to create a musical experience that would highlight the shared elements of their respective cultures rather than seek out the differences.
Since their debut gig in The Alley Theatre, Strabane in February 2008 the group have gone from strength to strength garnering invitations to perform for President McAleese at Áras an Uachtarain and at Parliament Buildings, Stormont. They have also performed at the prestigious annual Milwaukee Irish Festival in the USA.
"Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. From the music, to the costumes, to the choreography right down to the lighting - Kintra provide a rollercoaster evening of entertainment that could have been envisaged by Michael Flatley himself. If you only see one show this year, make it this one." Conor Sharkey, Strabane Chronicle
"Kintra are the best export we will be sending from the North West... one of the best phenomenon that has come out of Donegal and Tyrone ever." Jim Devenney, East Donegal Ulster Scots Association and Former Deputy Chairman of the Ulster - Scots Agency
