ART

A Donegal Photo Album – Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh

Gallery of Photography, Meeting House Sq, Temple Bar Until Feb 11 galleryofphotography.ie

Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh is one of those musicians who transcend the bounds of their discipline. The daughter of fiddle player and teacher Francie Mooney, she has long been a calm, creatively enlightened presence at the heart of Donegal and Irish traditional music, not only with Altan but also solo and in many other collaborations. Her personal photographic archive is a visual history of her family and musical life, centred on the Gaoth Dobhair Gaeltacht.
