The annual Irish Music Night once again features one of the hottest groups on tour in the country, Dervish. Following the tradition of acts brought to Sioux Falls such as Scartaglen, Ossian and Altan comes this 6 piece band that will put on quite a party.

The Dervish sound is formed around a core of fiddle, flute and accordion. In Shane McAleer, Liam Kelly and Shane Mitchell, Dervish has three of the finest players of these instruments in Ireland. These lead instruments are accompanied by the strident mandola and bouzouki playing of Brian McDonagh and Michael Homes.

Joining the guys is Cathy Jordan whose evocative voice has quickly become one of the most talked about in a country which has produced the likes of Sinead O'Conner, Bono and Van Morrison.
