Gather at 10:15am\, workshop to finish at 12:30pm.\n\nBorn in NYC and raised in San Francisco\, Athena Tergis showed a love and talent for the violin at an early age. She began with the Suzuki method at age four\, yet she yearned for more creativity and freedom in her music. She found this at Alasdair Fraser’s Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School\, where she studied with greats such as Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh\, Alasdair Fraser\, and Buddy MacMaster\, winning the Junior National Scottish Fiddling Championship three years in a row. \nAt sixteen\, Athena released her first album\, Journey Begun\, on Culburnie Records\, an album of original and Scottish music with fellow fiddler Laura Risk. While considering a music degree at eighteen\, Athena instead moved to Ireland\, where she immersed herself in Irish traditional music for nearly four years. While living in Galway\, she was invited by renowned box accordion player Sharon Shannon to join the Sharon Shannon Band for their 1997 European festival tour and Gail Force TV series recording. Living in Galway\, Belfast\, and London\, Athena toured extensively\, finally accepting an offer to star in a new production of Lord of the Dance in Las Vegas. Shortly after\, she was invited to become the principal fiddler for the Broadway production of Riverdance. \nAfter completing the year-and-a-half run of Riverdance on Broadway as the solo fiddler\, Athena created Sonic Arts Studios and Solarsonic Records\, a professional recording studio and record label in Brooklyn\, NY. She continued to perform regularly\, touring for over a year with sax player Clarence Clemons of The E Street Band. While living in New York\, Athena met singer\, historian\, and banjo player Mick Moloney. The pair had a rare musical spark and soon began playing regularly together in The Green Fields of America. \nIn 2007\, Athena released her solo album A Letter Home on Compass Records. Produced by John Doyle\, it includes an A-list roster of supporting musicians and represents her deep love and appreciation for Irish traditional music. Her album with The Green Fields of America\, also on Compass Records\, represents the melding and cross-fertilization of Irish and American music. Athena Tergis and The Green Fields of America were featured in the award-winning documentary on PBS\, Absolutely Irish!\, produced by Paul Wagner in 2007. \nIn 2009\, Athena was a featured soloist in the USA tour with the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra. During the ten-week\, 49-city tour of America\, Athena was a featured soloist in nine compositions\, including Inishlacken\, a concerto for two violins written by Bill Whelan\, alongside classical violinist Cora Venus Lunny. Her tour with The Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra of China included the live\, nationally broadcast debut of her original compositions “Old Quarry” and “Slide\,” co-written by John Doyle and arranged by Derek Gleeson\, at the Beijing National Center for the Performing Arts Opera Theater. \nHer collaboration and musical exploration with Riverdance composer Bill Whelan led them to be featured artists in the 2010 Masters in Collaboration Series produced by the New York Irish Arts Center\, with additional performances in Holland and NYC. Athena also returned to Broadway and the NY Irish Arts Center for the 63rd annual production of An Irish Christmas\, co-produced with Mick Moloney.\nAthena was also a featured artist in the new show Heartbeat of Home from the producers of Riverdance for their North American premiere. Athena has spent the past ten years in the village of Montalcino in Tuscany\, Italy\, where she and her husband own an award-winning winery\, Terralsole.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” solid_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”Tickets” url=”https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/fiddle-workshop-with-athena-tergis-tickets-1980634901307?aff=ebdsshsms&utm_share_source=search_android&sg=2318bcc37a7553ba58c1eb5defc3a27208675658a51aba2e679f2efcd876f5367911ebb348f438cc22ceeefccdb6f498a3b497beb9de6eb88c0853e24443894f514e8955895b1e2375a56b4e20″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Originally from San Francisco\, Athena’s musicality was forged under the tutelage of masters like Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and Alasdair Fraser. Her storied career includes starring as the principal fiddler in Riverdance on Broadway\, touring with the Sharon Shannon Band\, and a long-standing collaboration with Mick Moloney in The Green Fields of America. Now based in Tuscany\, Athena returns to the Irish stage with a style that is as elegant as it is energetic\, characterized by a unique “global” perspective on traditional tunes. \nJoining her is Liam Flanagan\, a native of North County Cork and one of the most respected fiddle and banjo players in the country. Liam is perhaps best known as a key member of the legendary Cork band North Cregg\, with whom he has toured the world and recorded extensively. His playing is deeply rooted in the rhythmic “lift” of the Sliabh Luachra tradition\, yet he is celebrated for a versatility that has seen him perform with high-profile acts like Danú and the Derek Hickey Quartet.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

At the heart of the group are the exceptional talents of Sonny Condell of Tír na nÓg\, alongside Philip King and Robbie Overson—musicians whose collective work has helped shape the sound and spirit of contemporary Irish folk and roots music. Renowned for performances that are both intimate and electrifying\, Scullion’s music blends tradition with fearless experimentation\, resulting in songs that feel timeless yet urgent. Their legacy continues to resonate with new generations\, underpinned by a rich back catalogue that captures decades of creative excellence.\nSharing the stage is INNI-K (Eithne Ní Chatháin)\, one of Ireland’s most compelling and distinctive contemporary artists. A singer\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, and songwriter\, Inni-K draws deeply from her grounding in sean-nós and traditional Irish music while consistently pushing beyond its boundaries. Her work is defined by emotional clarity\, textural depth\, and a willingness to explore new sonic landscapes. \nHer fourth studio album\, Still A Day\, released in September 2025\, marks her most expansive and ambitious work to date. Fully original and creatively fearless\, the album weaves folk foundations with elements of ambient\, jazz\, and art-song\, resulting in music that is both meditative and transformative. Critics have praised its luminous sensitivity and emotional reach\, describing it as an album that unsettles\, consoles\, and ultimately affirms. \nTogether\, these artists represent the depth\, evolution\, and continuing vitality of Irish music—rooted in tradition\, yet boldly forward-looking.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” solid_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”Tickets” url=”https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/scullion-special-guest-inni-k-tickets-1978113723396?aff=ebdsoporgprofile”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

As a key member of Spillane’s ensemble\, Nigel’s fiddle playing has graced numerous recordings and live performances\, including the acclaimed Magic Nights in the Lobby Bar and the ambitious Gaelic folk opera Fíoruisce – The Legend of the Lough. His ability to weave intricate melodic lines around contemporary folk songwriting has made him a sought-after accompanist and a familiar face on major stages like the Cork Opera House and Cyprus Avenue. \nBeyond his work as an accompanist\, Nigel is a dedicated traditionalist. He has been featured prominently on TG4’s Geantraí\, performing alongside other masters of the craft such as Niall Vallely and Cormac de Fréin. He was also a core member of the acclaimed stage production Pulses of Tradition\, which showcased the rich heritage of Cork’s music and dance to international audiences. \nWhether leading a high-energy session in a local pub or contributing to experimental folk projects\, Nigel Grufferty’s playing is marked by a soulful precision and a deep connection to the regional styles of Munster. His presence at the Ballincollig Winter Music Festival brings a wealth of experience and a true “musician’s musician” energy to the lineup.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Growing up in a musical household\, he began playing at a young age\, refining his craft under the guidance of respected teachers like Gary Shannon and Con Herbert. \nLiam is a central figure in the acclaimed Cork-based group North Cregg\, with whom he has recorded several award-winning albums and toured extensively across the globe. His reputation as a premier instrumentalist has also seen him tour internationally with the legendary band Danú and perform alongside a “who’s who” of traditional music\, including Derek Hickey\, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh\, and Ciarán Ó Gealbháin. \nHis playing is deeply rooted in the rhythmic and expressive styles of the Munster tradition\, yet it remains remarkably adaptable\, whether he is driving a high-octane festival set or providing nuanced accompaniment in a studio setting. A popular teacher at major summer schools\, Liam’s contribution to the music is defined by both his technical mastery and a career dedicated to bringing the sounds of Cork to international audiences.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
