✨️Irish Harmonica legends John & Pip Murphy✨️ performing at our Pe**er Dunne Festival Wexford last weekend.

These two men are legends of the "tin sandwich" and are renowned for their talents throughout the world. Their father, the late Phil Murphy was also a very talented player and the Phil Murphy Weekend takes place in his honour every July in Colfers Pub in Carrig-on-Bannow. This year will see the 34th festival take place,a huge achievement in itself. If you want to see more of this talented duo along with many renowed musicians and local talent for a fantastic weekend of music, follow the Colfer's page for more details.

We were honoured to have John & Pip perform for the crowds on Saturday. They each gave their time and talents for free and played a very fitting tribute to Pe**er at the inaugural festival.

With special thanks to our Festival Committee member Michael Fortune at folklore.ie for his many hours spent recording and editing all of this footage of the musicians and storytelling. More footage coming soon 👀
