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]

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]

For generations\, the bar has served as a welcoming space where the heritage of Irish music is preserved through the lived experience of the session. Its history is etched into the very fabric of the building\, which has remained a steadfast supporter of local artists and traveling musicians alike. \nTraditional music at Healy’s is characterized by its intimate\, unforced nature. Rather than a formal performance\, the sessions here prioritize the organic exchange of tunes—jigs\, reels\, and hornpipes—that have been passed down through the Cork and Kerry traditions. This commitment to the “pure drop” of trad music has made Healy’s a respected name among players who value authenticity and the social connection that a great session provides. It remains a place where the history of the town meets the living pulse of Irish culture\, ensuring that the old songs and stories continue to find an audience in the modern day.[/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]

In 2022\, he was honored with the TG4 Gradam Ceoil Ceoltóir Óg na Bliana (Young Musician of the Year) and has since become a member of the legendary band De Dannan.

The current lineup features Michael O’Sullivan (banjo)\, Flor Rahilly (guitar and vocals)\, Stan O’Sullivan (fiddle)\, and Lisa O’Sullivan (fiddle). Their sound is defined by a distinct “Sliabh Luachra” style—a rhythmic\, dance-focused tradition from the mountainous border of Cork and Kerry—infused with elements of folk and country. \nBeyond their work as a traditional ensemble\, the band’s members are stalwarts of the Irish music industry. Three of the group—Michael\, Flor\, and Stan—are also founding members of the acclaimed indie-rock band Stanley Super 800\, a crossover that brings a unique contemporary edge to their traditional arrangements. \nFrom long-standing residencies at legendary venues like The Lobby Bar and DeBarra’s Folk Club to international stages in Sri Lanka\, Italy\, and Russia\, The Céilí Allstars have spent over two decades bridging the gap between old-world heritage and modern energy.[/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]

Regan pairs delicate folk instrumentation with expansive\, cinematic soundscapes\, creating a work that feels both personal and ambitious. \nRegan first gained attention with Hemet\, a striking debut that led to extensive touring across Ireland\, the UK\, Australia\, and beyond. She has supported artists including CMAT\, Villagers\, John Grant\, SOAK\, Patrick Watson\, James Vincent McMorrow\, and Sam Amidon\, honing a powerful live presence and deep connection with audiences. \nInspired by artists such as Julia Jacklin\, Caroline Rose\, and Wilco\, Come As You Are confirms Regan as a singular voice in contemporary Irish music. With the album now available worldwide and a Choice Prize nomination secured\, 2025 is shaping up to be an important year as she continues to evolve as an artist.[/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=”jumbo” 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/niamh-regan-tickets-1977594752139?aff=ebdsoporgprofile”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
