Shared Breath: Galway, Europe and the Loughrea Harmonica Story is a live music, talk and craft demonstration exploring Galway’s hidden harmonica history and the remarkable story of the Hohner harmonica factory in Loughrea. Led by Galway-based musician, researcher and qualified Hohner harmonica technician Cathal Johnson of Harmonicas Ireland, the event will combine Irish traditional music, storytelling, local history and a rare demonstration of harmonica tuning and repair.
