SUMMARY:Síomha
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, 11 July\, 20:30\, Áras Éanna \nTickets €30/25 \nPhotograph by Zé Bateira \nIndependent Irish singer and guitarist Síomha (pronounced She-vah) dances the line between folk\, jazz and neo-soul effortlessly taking audiences on an unexpected and unforgettable journey with her soulful melodies. Her debut album ‘Infinite Space’\, described by The Irish Times as “a seriously accomplished and self-confident debut”\, is a collection of songs in both Irish and English. A kind of cosmic\, folk-informed\, jazz-tinged\, post-pop – it was produced by Grammy-nominated Tyler Duncan and features an all-star lineup of musicians including Joe Dart (Vulfpeck)\, Louis Cato (Bobby McFerrin/ Snarky Puppy)\, Martin Atkinson Borrull (Toucan) and violinist Jeremy Kittel (Bela Fleck/ Chris Thile). Síomha’s voice is full of raw heartfelt experience. When listening to her\, audiences are instantly moved to feel on the deepest level and come out more intimately connected to their own worlds. \nComing from a family steeped in music\, Síomha grew up on a diet of musical greats with the sounds of jazz\, trad\, folk and soul creeping in and leaving an indelible mark on her musical tastes and influences. She started playing the guitar at age 10 but it was later in her teens while attending high school in the south of France that she first took up jazz guitar after a chance encounter led to her learning from an Italian gypsy who taught her the manouche gypsy jazz style. The chords and sounds of jazz fascinated and inspired Síomha and she began to craft her own songs. \nThe next few years saw her travelling\, with music as her compass\, soaking up the sounds of each place she travelled and further honing her craft. In late 2016\, having traversed America\, Canada and Mexico\, she felt an innate draw to return to her home shores and a phenomenal few years have followed. Síomha has been a regular guest of folk legend Paul Brady and has performed at festivals such as Electric Picnic\, Celtic \nConnections\, Cambridge Folk Festival and Fête de la Musique at Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. In 2018\, she was invited to tour with the celebrated contemporary American-Irish group the olllam and instantly formed a bond with founding member Tyler Duncan. In 2019\, Síomha and her long-term creative collaborator Martin Atkinson Borrull began recording her debut album in Michigan\, USA with Tyler as producer. Síomha was selected as an Official Showcase Artist at Folk Alliance International 2023 in Kansas City\, MI and she was recently awarded The Music Network performance residency at Centre Culturel Irlandais\, Paris where she will spend a month working on new material. Síomha was recently invited to record some of her songs with The RTÉ Concert Orchestra\, arranged by Cormac McCarthy. These tracks will be released on a new EP titled ‘Infinite Space Reimagined’\, a follow up to her ambitious debut album. The EP will also feature a track with Metropole Orkest\, the world’s leading pop and jazz orchestra who have collaborated with Ella Fitzgerald\, Bono\, Snarky Puppy and Robbie Williams. \nSíomha is an artist full of heart and her music defies conventional genres. The influences of her musical background\, her travels and her musical explorations are audible in the music she creates. Always proud of her Irish heritage\, she performs her songs in English and Irish. The beautiful landscape and rugged nature of her native West of Ireland are a huge source of inspiration for this proud Co. Clare artist leading her to create a soulful and unique style of music that enthrals anyone who hears it.

SUMMARY:Máirtín O'Connor\, Cathal Hayden\, Séamie O'Dowd
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 26 June\, 20:30pm.\, Áras Éanna  \nTickets €30/25 \nSince The Mairtin O’Connor Trio’s first performance in Sligo in the early 2000s \, they’ve toured worldwide as well as making two critically acclaimed recordings\, “Crossroads” and “Going Places.” \nTheir path has taken them from the Sydney Opera House to New York’s Symphony Space Centre as part of Martin Hayes’ Masters Of Tradition concerts. They also toured central and eastern Europe with the legendary Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel and have played their own gigs in Ireland\, Britain\, Europe\, The United States\, Canada\, Australia and New Zealand to ecstatic receptions from audiences. \nThey have also accompanied Irish folk hero Christy Moore on numerous concerts as well as guesting on three of his more recent recordings. Described aptly as “Irish traditional music’s power house trio”\, their live performance is a virtual whirlwind tour from deep within the heart of the Irish musical traditions right to the edges of its outer limits. \nMairtin O’Connor’s own musical history encompasses a hugely influential spell with De Danann\, Midnight Well\, Skylark\, and a spell playing with the inaugural performances of the long renowned Riverdance show. He’s also collaborated with Mark Knopfler\, Tanita Tikaram\, The Contempo Quartet\, The Boys Of The Lough and countless others. And through the release of ground-breaking albums such as The Connachtman’s Rambles\, Perpetual Motion\, Chatterbox\, The Road West and Rain Of Light\, his own renowned accordion wizardry and composing have become the stuff of Irish music legend. Mairtin\, who has received many accolades and awards in recognition of his musical talent\, is easily one of the finest all-round musicians that Ireland has ever produced. \nCathal Hayden needs no introduction to anyone even remotely aware of traditional Irish music. An All-Ireland champion on fiddle as well as banjo\, an enduring and much cited inspiration for emerging traditional musicians and a founder member of super group Four Men and a Dog\, Cathal has also founded an excellent fiddle based group with his brother Stephen and brilliant young Armagh fiddler Niall Murphy called The Bow Brothers. He has also collaborated with members of American folk legends The Band and countless other artists both in and outside of the musical traditions of Ireland.. And to top it all off\, Four Men and a Dog were name checked in a Billy Connolly sketch!!! \nMulti-instrumentalist Seamie O’Dowd made his first radio appearance playing music at the age of ten and played on a BBC documentary about the legendary Scottish folk legend Dick Gaughan when he was fifteen. Seamie has carved out a solid reputation as one of Ireland’s finest musicians. He toured the world for six years as a member of Sligo supergroup Dervish\, as well as playing with Liam O’Flynn\, Kevin Burke\, The Chieftains\, The Unwanted\, Arcady\, Mary Mac Partlan\, New Road\, Thom Moore\, Sligo pianist Kieran Quinn and many others. Seamie has also worked as a producer and session musician on a number of critically acclaimed recordings

SUMMARY:Maria Somerville + Olan Monk
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 19 June\, 20:30\, Áras Éanna \nTickets €30/25 \n(MS photographed by Cáit Fahy\, OM by Charlie Doherty) \nBy the time Irish musician Maria Somerville started writing Luster\, her landmark label debut for 4AD\, she had lived away from her native Connemara for quite some time. Having grown up amongst the wild\, mountainous terrain of Galway’s rural west coast\, she later relocated to Dublin\, where she patiently developed an atmospheric dream pop signature inspired by the landscape of her youth – a spellbinding soundworld of gusting ambient electronics\, ethereal guitar strums\, sparse percussion\, and hushed lyrical vignettes. In 2019\, this culminated in All My People\, a self-released LP steeped in reverb\, nostalgia and a yearning for home that won praise from discerning press and listeners alike. \nIt was upon returning to Connemara\, in a house near where she was raised overlooking one of the country’s largest lakes\, Lough Corrib\, that work commenced on the songs that would eventually become Luster\, an album that illuminates Somerville’s music anew\, pushing it forward in both sound and spirit. Where All My People conveyed memories and melancholic longing with misty slowcore balladry\, these 12 tracks show us an artist who’s more assured in the path her life has taken\, and the person she’s become in the process. As she sings in ‘Trip’ – “I can see more clearly\nthan I could before. I know now what’s true for me.” \nInvigorated by her surroundings and emboldened by her community\, Somerville found a renewed sense of creative energy upon returning to home soil. It provided “fertile ground” for free-flowing recording sessions in her small living room studio\, where she stitched together demos that were then fleshed out with friends and collaborators\, and later mixed by the renowned New York-based engineer Gabriel Schuman. Contributors included producers J. Colleran\, Brendan Jenkinson and Diego Herrera (aka Suzanne Kraft)\, as well as Lankum’s Ian Lynch\, whose uilleann pipe drones you can hear in ‘Violet’\, and Margie Jean Lewis\, whose violin bows reverberate through the ambient haze of ‘Flutter’. Sessions with musicians Henry Earnest and Finn Carraher McDonald (aka Nashpaints) helped “tie it all together”\, while contributions from friends Roisin Berkley and Olan Monk enshrined the companionship they’ve shared since Somerville returned to Connemara. \nListeners have had a window into Somerville’s world every Monday and Tuesday morning since 2021 via her beloved Early Bird Show on NTS Radio\, where her dawn chorus selections range from blissful ambient and shoegaze to traditional Irish folk songs. Since signing to 4AD that same year\, Somerville has toured with her label mates Dry Cleaning\, and released two covers for the label’s 40th anniversary celebrations – taking on Nancy Sinatra’s ‘Kinky Love’ and Air Miami’s ‘Sea Bird’. With the release of Luster\, she has signaled the arrival of a new era that will see her play\naround the world in 2025 accompanied by a live band. Rest assured though\, no matter where Somerville goes\, she’ll take a piece of home with her – a living\, breathing\, timeless essence you can sense in every note\, as clear as the air by the Corrib. \nOlan Monk is a musician\, performer\, and writer from Conamara\, Ireland. \nTheir second album\, Songs for Nothing\, is out now on AD 93. \nWritten after Monk’s return to Ireland’s west coast\, the record draws from sean-nós singing and Sinéad O’Connor’s confessional lyricism\, blending Irish tradition with experimental gothic art rock. Through shifting textures of shoegaze\, cloud rap\, and slow airs\, the album evokes Conamara’s rugged landscape and a deep sense of place. Featuring contributions from Maria Somerville\, Michael Speers\, Dylan Kerr\, and others\, Songs for Nothing reimagines Irish song traditions with raw\, heartfelt intensity. Monk dedicates it “to Conamara and all who have called it home.” \nTheir practice involves experimental and popular songwriting\, performing as a solo act and in collaboration with other musicians\, including recordings and performances with Actress\, Ashley Paul\, Elvin Brandhi\, James K\, Maria Somerville\, Michael Speers\, Moin\, Princ€ss and Shampain. They co-founded C.A.N.V.A.S. with Lugh O’Neill as an events series and record label\, established in 2018 to give collective agency to an increasingly dispersed community of artists. \nPast releases include Love/Dead (2020) and Auto Life (2021) on C.A.N.V.A.S. and Dubplate 08 (2022) on AD 93. They contributed the single ‘Surf’ to Scenic Route’s The Road Less Travelled Vol. 2 compilation (2024) and feature on the single ‘Guess It’s Wrecked’ from Moin’s third album You Never End (2024)\, released on AD 93. Past performances include appearances at Rewire\, The Hague; Aiséirí in Leisureland\, Galway; National Concert Hall\, Dublin; the Sonic Arts Research Centre\, Belfast; cafe OTO\, London; Barbican Hall\, London; Institute for Contemporary Art\, London; PAF Olomouc; EOS crossings\, Frankfurt and throughout Ireland\, England and continental Europe. \n

SUMMARY:Gile na Gile - Brightness of Brightness The Music and Journeys of Aodhagáin Ó Rathaille
DESCRIPTION:Composed and presented by Lorcán Mac Mathúna (voice)\, Martin Tourish (accordion)\, and Éamonn Galldubh (pipes and flute). \nThe Gaelic world fell apart during the life of Aodhagáin Ó Rathaille\, and he was one of the leading chroniclers of this traumatic turn in Irish history and literature. He was born during the era of the Bardic School but died in poverty during penal times and the times of the subverted Bardic Court. He was one of the chief generators of the new movement in literature which produced the Aisling; the music of hope during a hopeless first. \nThe Rathailleach wrote deep\, bold and fierce poetry. His poetry was a savage witness to a brutal and tragic time\, written with clarity and always an eye for beauty in words. He wrote lyrically\, with musical rhythm and alliterative pathos. The most capable poet of a new era of Irish. A poet who has not yet been surpassed. With his sui generis writings in the newly evolving style of Irish poetry\, it can be said that O Rathaille is the father of modern Irish literature. \nWe will travel with O Rathaille through his poetry. Poetry that stands as one of the clearest witnesses of the 18th Century in Ireland. Musical\, lyrical poetry\, which gave the poet’s perspective on a world that\, was changing traumatically. His unique lyrics give us a perspective divided between despair and optimism. \nFriday 17 October 21:00p.m. \nTicktets €20/25 on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Tom Portman and Maciej Zavoronek
DESCRIPTION:Train to Nowhere\, a concert with Tom Portman and Maciej Zavoronek  – Friday 2nd August 8:30pm \nTom Portman: Vocals\, Guitar & Dobro (slide guitar) and Maciej Zavoronek on Harmonica\, Clarinet and Saxophone \nOriginal music inspired by Country Blues\, Jazz and a few covers of Hank Williams\, Mississpi John Hurt\, J.J Cale and Eric Bibb. \n‘Train to Nowhere’ is a new\, raw\, stripped back rootsy country blues album from Tom Portman. It couples deft songwriting with intricate guitar and dobro playing that is the hallmark of Tom’s work. Portman is joined on this album by maestro Maciej (Magic) Zaworonek’s poetic harmonica lines. The title track ‘Train to Nowhere’ was penned by Australian song writer Kevin Lym\, to a Dobro melody Tom was playing as they busked & drifted their way around the south of France many years ago. Tom’s songs on this album feature his wry humor\, but also contain the subtle depth that one expects from a songwriter of Portman’s standing. The album also includes cover versions of Tom’s songwriting heroes Hank Williams\, Tim O’Brien and Eric Bibb. \n  \nTickets €15/€20 available here \n
