Cashel Arts Festival is proud to host a very special performance by Pat Marnane, as he launches his new album Music, Memories, My Piano and Me.

A familiar figure behind the scenes at the festival for many years through his work in sound production, Pat steps into the spotlight this year to share a deeply personal collection of songs—his first full album of original material.

With a musical journey spanning over four decades across Ireland and the United States, Pat brings a lifetime of experience to the stage. His new songs are built on storytelling and rich melodies, reflecting on the roads travelled, the people met, and the memories that have stayed with him.

The album features heartfelt pieces such as “Another Road”, a song about finding your way back to what you love, and “This Road I Ride”, inspired by years of touring across America. At its emotional core is “For Sheila”, a moving tribute to his late mother, celebrating a shared life filled with music and fond memories.

This launch performance is a particularly meaningful one, taking place close to home and within a festival that has long been part of Pat’s musical life. Joined by a full band, he looks forward to bringing these songs to life in a special evening of music, reflection, and connection.

A night not to be missed.
