Originally from America\u2019s Deep South, Dana grew up with the sound of soul, rhythm and blues and gospel music all around her. Her love for music developed as she grew up and lead her to study music, majoring in vocal performance at university. Music took Dana from South Carolina to Minneapolis and then on to Los Angeles where she lived for four years and where she met an Irish boy who would later become her husband.<\/p>\n<p>From live work with BBC Radio 4 and \u2018Proms In The Park\u2019 to singing regularly with Van Morrison, Dana\u2019s reputation as one of Ireland\u2019s top vocalists continues to gain momentum. Calling Northern Ireland home, Dana is passionate about music as a vehicle to make people and communities vibrant.<\/p>\n<p>The Henry Girls are an Irish folk and roots music group consisting of three sisters, Karen, Lorna and Joleen McLaughlin. You\u2019ll often see The Henry Girls on stage with a fiddle, ukulele, banjo, guitar, harp, mandolin, piano and accordion. Their new album \u2018Far Beyond the Stars\u2019 was named are RTE Radio\u2019s Album of the Week in March 2017, and they will perform for one night only on Friday 11 August.<\/p>\n<p>The Henry Girls\u00a0combine something of our Irish heritage with a more contemporary backdrop; imbuing it with compassion, insight and warmth. See them live and you will drift away with Celtic harmonies, folkish melodies, and a dollop of that world-famous organic Donegal style.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for both performances are priced \u00a312, and can be booked by contacting the Box Office on [028] 3752 1821, or online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketplacearmagh.com\">www.marketplacearmagh.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit the website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketplacearmagh.com\">www.marketplacearmagh.com<\/a> for full details and bookings, or contact the Box Office on [028] 3752 1821.
