Tuesday 20 May - An Evening with /Tráthnóna le Amano - 8 p.m. €15 - Amano is a songwriter and performing artist from Killarney, Co. Kerry. She works bilingually in Irish and English to explore themes of changing identities, cultural fluidity, language(s) and animist ecologies across a range of genres including folk, pop, sean-nós, electronic and spoken word. “Comfortable performing in both English and as Gaeilge, her influences ebb between alt-folk, R&B and traditional sean-nós singing. An idiosyncratic talent, it's refreshingly hard to pinpoint this Japan-born, Killarney-bred songwriter's style.”- Hot Press (August 2024)
