Blackthorn
Blackthorn, members of the Michigan Irish American Hall of Fame, played a musical journey across Ireland on Saturday, December 21, 2024, at 8 p.m. at The Ark in Ann Arbor. They mixed traditional and contemporary Irish songs in a rich set.
For 40 years, Blackthorn has brought deep and diverse Irish music traditions to southeast Michigan and beyond. Led by Belfast native Richard McMullan's vocals and supported by multiple instruments like flute, accordion, fiddle, bodhrán, and cittern, the band performed a lively set featuring songs of emigration, ballads, shanties, jigs, reels, and modern Irish tunes. This concert showcased their rich tapestry of Celtic music in a lively and authentic way.
