The Whistlin’ Donkeys

The Whistlin’ Donkeys have built a devoted following across Ireland through their lively performances and crowd-favourite arrangements of Irish folk songs. Their set is expected to include well known favourites such as Bee’s Wing, alongside the high-tempo material that has made them one of the most popular touring folk bands in the country.

Their ability to connect with audiences makes them a natural fit for an outdoor summer concert setting where sing-along moments and shared atmosphere are very much part of the experience.

Sharon Shannon & Mundy Perform Together with Full Band

Accordion player Sharon Shannon has long been recognised as one of Ireland’s most talented traditional musicians. Joining her on the night is Mundy, whose songwriting and live performances continue to resonate with audiences across generations. Together with a full band, they will perform favourites including Galway Girl, a song closely associated with both artists and one that always brings a strong response from audiences.

The Highstool Prophets

The Highstool Prophets complete the line-up with their energetic blend of folk and country influences. Known for lively performances and strong audience engagement, the five-piece group deliver sets that move comfortably between traditional inspiration and contemporary Irish country-folk style.

A Summer Concert in a Unique Setting

Summer Sessions at the Manor continues to grow as a destination series for outdoor concerts, offering audiences the chance to enjoy major Irish artists in a relaxed estate setting. With gates opening from 5pm, the evening is designed as a full live music experience rather than a single headline performance.

Irish Anthems Live stands out as one of the key events in the 2026 programme and brings together performers whose songs are already part of the soundtrack of Irish live music culture.

Tickets are available now from atthemanor.ie.
