After a year of not performing, the traditional Irish and bluegrass string quartet We Banjo 3 played a virtual concert on March 13 at the Pearse Lyons Distillery in Dublin, Ireland.
A portion of the proceeds from tickets purchased through the Haugh website went towards supporting that venue.
We Banjo 3 gave a stellar performance with high-quality audio and video, which made the virtual concert a great experience. The group had remarkable vocal harmonization and performed with great synchronization, giving the audience a great show.
We Banjo 3 and their production company Tiny Ark were able to create a virtual event that avoided feeling as lonely and isolated as other virtual events.
The concert was livestreamed, allowing fans from all over the world to join. Fans shouted out their locations in the live chat, making what would have been an isolated show a welcoming and connected international experience.
“You are tuning in from a lot of different parts in the world,” guitarist David Howley said. “We have people from England, Ireland, Scotland, America; we even have some people over in Japan and all across Europe as well.”
Not only was the audience connected with each other, but with the help of a live screen of the chat being shown in real time, We Banjo 3 was able to connect and interact with the audience as well.
They did so by playing song requests from fans including “Little Liza Jane” and “Pressed for Time.” Fans enjoyed hearing their song requests, and many of them commented about dancing at home and how happy they were to finally see some live music.
We Banjo 3 even surprised their audience with a new song “Hummingbird Love,” as their fans praised and cheered.
