CATRIN FINCH & AOIFE NÍ BHRIAIN

WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME BACK CATRIN AND AOIFE  AS THEY PLAY TRACKS FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN 2025.

A spellbinding collaboration between two musical powerhouses.

Dublin native Aoife Ní Bhriain is one of Ireland’s foremost traditional fiddle players and a classical violinist of international stature who commands both the classical world and her Irish traditional heritage. From across the Irish Sea and the west coast of Wales, harpist Catrin Finch has also built an impressive classical career and ventured into uncharted musical territory, most notably through her award-winning international collaborations.

Finch and Ní Bhriain create a spellbinding musical dialogue where traditional and contemporary elements converge in a breathtaking celebration of musical synergy, taking listeners on a captivating journey on the wings of the bees across the Irish Sea, inspired by the cultures of their home countries.

Their debut album Double You hit #1 in the iTunes Classical Charts and the World Music Charts Europe, #2 in the Transglobal World Music Charts, and received nominations for ‘Best Album’ in the 6th RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards and ‘Best European Album’ in the Songlines Music Awards 2024.

Cydweithrediad syfrdanol rhwng dau dalent cerddorol aruthrol.

Mae Aoife Ní Bhriain, sy’n hanu o Ddulyn, yn un o ffidlwyr traddodiadol mwyaf blaenllaw Iwerddon ac yn feiolinydd clasurol o statws rhyngwladol sy’n feistrolgar ym maes cerddoriaeth glasurol a cherddoriaeth ei threftadaeth draddodiadol Wyddelig. Ar draws Môr Iwerddon, ar arfordir gorllewinol Cymru, mae’r delynores Catrin Finch hefyd wedi llunio gyrfa glasurol drawiadol ac wedi mentro i dir cerddorol newydd, yn fwyaf nodedig trwy ei chydweithrediadau rhyngwladol gwobrwyedig.

Mae Finch a Ní Bhriain yn creu deialog gerddorol swynol lle mae elfennau traddodiadol a chyfoes yn dod at ei gilydd mewn dathliad syfrdanol o gydweithrediad cerddorol, gan dywys gwrandawyr ar daith hudolus ar adenydd y gwenyn ar draws Môr Iwerddon, wedi’i hysbrydoli gan ddiwylliannau eu dwy wlad enedigol.

Mae eu halbwm debut Double You wedi cyrraedd #1 yn Siartiau Clasurol iTunes a Siartiau Cerddoriaeth y Byd Ewrop, #2 yn Siartiau Cerddoriaeth Byd Transglobal, a derbyniodd enwebiadau ar gyfer yr ‘Albwm Gorau’ yn 6ed Gwobrau Gwerin Radio 1 RTÉ, ac ‘Albwm Gorau Ewrop’ yng Ngwobrau Cerddoriaeth Songlines 2024.

Book a table for pre-concert dining

Acapela Studio provides pre-concert dining between 6.00pm and 7.30pm from our pizza oven. To view the current menu visit here.

Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.

Then return to the event page to book your table, by selecting the date of your event, number of diners and time you require table. The times shown are the only vacancies left.  Please complete your email and phone number as this is required to ensure your table is allocated. You will receive confirmation of your booking by email and text.

If on the date you have chosen no tables are available - no times will be shown and the booking system will revert you back to todays date - PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK THE CORRECT DATE!

PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.

Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if  this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue. 

  • All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
  • Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
  • Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
  • If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk

Please note that all of our pizzas are made fresh to order. It may take up to 45 minutes to be served during busy periods.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK A TABLE YOU CAN STILL ORDER PIZZAS ON THE NIGHT (USUALLY ON BUSY NIGHTS NO LATER THAN  7.15PM) AND WE WILL SERVE THEM TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE SAT IN THE VENUE - IN A PIZZA BOX.
