Plight of the Bumblebee - Screening

Brona Whelan

Brenda Castles hails from Co. Meath and honed her concertina skills under the tutelage of Mícheál Ó'Raghallaigh. With two solo albums showcasing her mastery of Irish music on the concertina, Brenda is a seasoned performer and often graced stages alongside Mick Moloney's Green Fields of America. Notable recent performances include headlining solo concerts at Temple Bar TradFest, Meath Beo, the Pipers Club, Earth Rising and the Consairtín festival in Ennis.

Beyond her musical endeavours, Brenda has delved into the realm of film, creating and producing the evocative short film 'Plight of the Bumble Bee' complete with a traditionally inspired soundtrack of her own composition.

Brenda is joined by two musicians and a Q&A panel after the screening.
