Tad Sargent

Once again, our Concert Session host – Tad Sargent – will be accompanying James and John. Tad recently performed on RTE radio 1 on Ceili House. He is frequently in London, and although well known as bouzouki and bodhran player, he is mostly found to be playing guitar these days. As always, he is delighted to welcome people along to the concert session series at the Irish Cultural Centre – a place very dear to his heart.
