We were delighted to celebrate our Musician in Residence, Dónal Lunny, this week with a special screening of In Time in the Trapdoor.

Dónal is one of the most iconic and influential Irish musicians of his generation, and has worked with the UCD Traditional Music Practices ensemble since 2021 🎶

🎻🎬 The documentary film, In Time - Dónal Lunny, charts the life and work of one of the most influential figures in Irish folk and traditional music.

It uses the famous archival footage of Planxty performing in University College Dublin’s Theatre L in 1972.
