We are delighted to have a super star from the band Danu, Benny McCarthy for the 2012 Ceol Aneas Festival.

Playing since he was 13 years, Benny is one of Irelands best young exponents on accordion. He founded the band Danu in 1995. His playing is described as powerful and soulful. He comes from Co.Waterford in the sunny south east of Ireland.
