NYOI's amazing trip to the UAE ends with a session in the sky

This time last week NYOI were preparing for their first concert in Dubai. One week on and it's hard to believe we were actually there! Our audiences were a multicultural melting pot... thank you to each and everyone of them for the warm reception we received at our concerts in Dubai, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi.

Congratulations to the fabulous NYOI and Gearóid Grant for three amazing concerts with soloists Mícheál Ó Suilleabháin and Liam O'Flynn. Special thanks and congrats also to Noel Eccles and Jonathan Ford.

Apart from the three fantastic concerts some of the highlights included the Burj Al Arab turning green for St Patrick's Day as NYOI performed in the Madinat Theatre at Souk Madinat Jumeirah ....


Staying on Yas Island, we were treated to a tour of the Yas Marina Circuit and couldn't leave without a trip to Ferrari World for a trip on the fastest rollercoaster in the world!!


More updates and photos to follow but for now we'll leave you with a clip of Etihad's new in-flight entertainment... this is what happens when 100 musicians are on a long haul flight together... check out Liam O'Flynn and Mícheál Ó Suilleabháin in the middle of it all!
