A special feature of this coming Friday night Spink session will be the launch of a recently restored Sebastein Erard 7 pedal Gothic Harp.
It's been lovingly restored by a Laois-based musical instrument maker and master craftsman Ger Doheny of Irish Craft Instruments.

It was due to be played in Spink on the night by its owner the Co Clare concertina player Christy Ennis.
