In 2004, Brian Hart (Brian O’ hAirt) was the first American to win the ballad singing competition in the senior division at the All-Ireland Fleadh.
Len Graham is one of Ireland’s best-known singers, having gained an international reputation for his inimitable singing style.
Through many seasons of collaboration, the two have distilled the best of these traditions into a performance that weaves stories, songs, tunes and dance into “the one tradition”.
