Just before they headed off for their first ever US gigs, Irish folk/trad seven-piece The Bonny Men came into RTÉ to perform some tracks for RTÉ Culture.
The band, who played The Michigan Irish Music Festival last week, formed five years ago and have released two bilingual albums, a self-titled debut and 2015’s Moyne Road.
The band have been the subject of a documentary on TG4’s Ar Thóir an Cheoil and they’ve also appeared on BBC show Cuisle and, most recently, Bosca Ceoil.
