An Evening of Iona Music & More

Dave Bainbridge and Sally Minnear return again to The Lantern. It's almost a residency!

Their previous visits have been full of fabulous music and good humour. 2024 saw them introduce a Gentle Giant song into the repertoire – who knows what 2025 will bring!

Award-winning multi-instrumentalist Dave Bainbridge joins forces with Lord of The Dance vocalist and instrumentalist Sally Minnear to bring a spellbinding evening of music that will, in equal measure, have you jigging in (or out of!) your seat or bring a tear to your eye. A compelling mix of powerful and ethereal vocal songs (including the occasional emotive Gaelic ballad), instrumental tracks (jigs / reels / slow airs / evolving soundscapes and virtuoso improvisation on keyboards, electric guitar, bouzouki and cowbell!

Dave and Sally first toured together as a duo in July 2015. Such were the incredibly positive reactions to the tour that they have continued work together whenever their busy schedules allow, bringing their magic to audiences far and wide. Their only release together so far was 2018's 'Live in the Studio' DVD which garnered wide appreciation..
