The Gathering Festival Presents
Comprised of treasured Sligo fiddlers, brothers Seamus and Manus McGuire, and internationally revered Sliabh Luachra button accordion maestro Jackie Daly, Buttons & Bows took traditional Irish melodies and mixed them with the traditional music of Canada, Scandinavia, and the Shetland Islands to create a poignant, multi-dimensional sound.
The band recorded three albums together, all of which were widely acclaimed, Buttons & Bows, (Mulligan, 1984) First Month of Summer, (Green Linnet, 1987) and Grace Notes (Tayberry, 1994). The trio toured all over the United States and Canada.
Seamus and Manus McGuire grew up in a family that valued both classical and traditional music. Both brothers began taking classical violin as a child, and by the time they were young teenagers, they were proficient in both classical violin and traditional Irish fiddle. As teens, they won several competitions, and by the time they were young adults, they had already extensively toured North America.
