The Byrne Brothers
Fresh off their extensive U.S. tour with legends of Irish music The High Kings, The Byrne Brothers are returning to their roots for a special homecoming performance at The Glens Centre on April 17th in Manorhamilton.
Originally hailing from Mountcharles, Co. Donegal and now based in Orlando, Florida, the multi-award-winning family band has become one of the most followed traditional Irish acts in the world. Their return to the Northwest marks a rare opportunity for local audiences to experience the high-energy "Celtic Grass Fusion" that has made them a household name across America.
A Global Phenomenon with Local Roots The Byrne Brothers—Luca, Finn, Dempsey, and father Tommy—have spent the last
eight years as premier entertainers at Disney in Florida, performing in 49 U.S. states and headlining major international festivals like Milwaukee Irish Fest and Dublin Irish Fest.

Despite their global success, which includes over 50 million video views and 360,000 social media followers, the band remains deeply connected to their traditional music roots but with a modern sound including bass drops and other special effects.
Taking Tradition to a New Level
The boys are renowned for a performance style that is as much a visual spectacle as a musical one. Finn is a former two times Ulster Champion and world qualifier Irish dancer and all the band are county champions on their instruments.
The gig takes place at The Glens Centre, Manorhamilton on April 17th and tickets are available via The Glens Centre box office or website.
With a reputation for drawing record-breaking crowds—including a historic set at New York’s Grass Roots Festival—this performance is expected to be a highlight of the spring arts calendar in Leitrim.
