Noel Tuohy

17/05/2009

We are delighted to welcome Noel Touhy back to Puck Fair following an absence of 30 years!
He played accordion at the Festival from 1964 to 1979 and many may remember him accompany the Brassil School of Dancing.
In the 1960s and '70s Ceili and street dancing around the stand to the music of Noel Tuohy and his All Stars was the highlight of evening entertainment at Puck.

Since then Noel has travelled all over the world performing and promoting Traditional Irish Music.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since he has joined us, but we are very proud to have this wonderful musician return to the Festival.
See Noel play on Gathering Day, Monday the 10th of August, from 2pm on the Puck Fair Stand.
