Matt Tighe and Tad Sargent

Event information

Matt Tighe and Tad Sargent are a highly acclaimed duo on the traditional and Irish music scene performing their own arrangements of traditional and original tunes in addition to songs that have been collected around the session scene of the UK.

They started playing music together whilst one was just fifteen years of age and the other was twenty five. Matt, the youngster of the duo on fiddle with Tad taking up duty on bouzouki and bodhran, met at the infamous Slough pub, “The Herschel Arms”. The legendary landlord, Tom King, hosted regular sessions that brought together members of the Irish traditional musical community from all over the world.

The Duo have been playing gigs around the country including two sold out shows at the famous Green Note in London, a headline slot at the National Piping Centre for Glasgow’s Celtic Connections, and a support slot for Kathryn Tickell’s Darkening on the main stage of Broadstairs Folk Week to name but a few!
