Imar with David Geaney & String Section

This weekend’s festival hosts, Ímar return to Hall One with special guests including five-time World Champion Irish Dancer, David Geaney. They will also be joined by a string quartet, reprising their Celtic Connections 2025 show, from Glasgow’s Pavilion Theatre.

No strangers to Kings Place, Ímar expertly fuse the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man, drawing upon the three areas shared cultural heritage as the impetus for their own compositions and contemporary approaches.

With a wide-reaching fanbase throughout the UK, Europe, USA and Canada, the quintet have been one of the trad scene’s most talked about groups for nearly 10 years – thanks in no small part to their debut video, *L’Air Mignonne* catapulting the group to the attention of audiences and media worldwide.

Adam Brown (bodhrán), Adam Rhodes (bouzouki), Mohsen Amini (concertina), Ryan Murphy (uilleann pipes) and Tomás Callister (fiddle) share a strong background in Irish music; a grounding that underpins many of Ímar’s distinctive qualities, in both instrumentation and material. Joining them is champion Irish dancer David Geaney – known for his standout performances on Britain’s Got Talent and headlining on Broadway.

Please note, this event will use water-based haze.

This event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
