Get ready for a night of old songs, lively ballads and plenty of craic with Donie Nolan, Liam Flanagan, Ciarán Ó Gealbháin, Teresa Doherty, The Clancy Boys, and Lynda Gardiners concertina ensemble.
Liam and Donie introduce their new CD “Blooming Meadow” featuring music from County Limerick, while Ciarán and Teresa will visit songs and stories from the Joyce era.
The Clancy Boys are a young, energetic group with a deep connection to the traditional songs passed down through their families and communities.
They sing the old ballads with their own unmistakable style — sometimes polished, sometimes spontaneous, and always full of character.
From The Jolly Tinker and Bold O’Donoghue to The Mermaid, Sound the Píobrach and The Wild Rover, these are songs that have been handed down through generations and given a fresh lease of life by a new generation of performers.
As singer and raconteur Joe Power says: “These boys have this music by nature AND nurture… They capture perfectly the spirit and excitement of the original Clancy Bros.”
Expect great songs, great musicianship, stories and a generous helping of Irish traditional music at its most lively and entertaining.
