With traditional Irish folk songs, spiced with good country tunes, they perform in a uniquely Irish way with accordion, violin, guitar, guitar, and flute. bass and drums.
– Among other things, it was written after the performance in 2024:
“A heartwarming concert, professional to the core, and there was not a single person on the newly asphalted Dungasandur this evening, who moved from the stage area after the concert, without having a smile on his lips”
“There has never been such a good atmosphere in front of the big stage at the Country Festival since it started. Never.”
On Saturday night, America’s Got Talent Golden Buzzer winners from Nashville USA, Chapel Hart, will perform on the Dunga stage at 19:00. 10:00 p.m. Chapel Hart is an American country music band from Mississippi. The group consists of the three songbirds: sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and their nephew Trea Swindle. They have independently released four albums and eleven singles. In July 2022, they competed on the seventeenth season of America’s Got Talent.
