BEOGA
& LIGHTSCAPE

Before We Change our Mind”

New Music and Live Visuals: A special one off performance.

_ Main Venue _

Trailblazers in the visual arts collide with one of Ireland’s best known trad super groups.

Beoga and Lightscape are at the forefront of their trades, and for one special tour come together to perform a live show of newly composed music against the backdrop of a stunning visual display of projections. Lightscape are the first artists in Europe to use these techniques. The coming together with Beoga is a rare opportunity to see and hear a new imagining of traditional music and a new wave of Irish artistry. The show will travel both North and South, taking in Belfast, Cookstown, Sligo, Galway and Dublin.

The visuals created by Lightscape are inspired by Beoga’s newly composed music from their new album “Before We Change our Mind”, and the space and structures of the stage will be transformed into stunning 3D visual installations that make the music come to life. This is a once off tour that will showcases some of Ireland’s leading talents in music and art, and is an exciting new creation that will set the stage alight and delight audiences across the country.
