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:BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF
DESCRIPTION:An evening of storytelling with Tommy Tiernan & Martin Shaw \nStorytelling is a way of talking about the stranger side of life. There’s a secret history of the world hidden in a fairy tale. Tommy Tiernan and Martin Shaw are setting out on adventure and inviting you to come with them. Not stand-up\, not literary recital\, this is a kind of dreaming with your eyes open. It’s a world where you get lost on the way home from the fair\, or a cow becomes a hill\, or a woman has a fox tail hidden under her skirt. All of this is happening all the time\, and Tiernan and Shaw are bringing the tales to prove it. \n  \nTickets €25 on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Achill Island\, Basking Shark Fishermen
DESCRIPTION:Achill Island\, Basking Shark Fishermen is a musical response to Achill Island’s basking shark fishing industry\, preserving this important part of Achill’s heritage for future generations. \nFollowing the release of their first album Isle of the Eagle in August 2023\, The Achill Sound presents its latest project focused on preserving the oral history and stories of the basking shark industry on Achill Island during the 20th century. This unique and immersive performance sensitively imparts Achill’s shark fishing history\, combining recordings\, archival footage\, and original visuals with traditional and newly composed Irish music and song. \nAchill-based musician Graham Sweeney and Glasgow-based producer John Michael Berry\, whose family also hails from the island\, are the duo behind The Achill Sound. Their aim with this project is to continue their shared objective of keeping Achill’s history and culture alive. \nGraham Sweeney said\,“My family had a large involvement in the industry\, which is why I viewed it with a heavy heart and anger. It is only in recent years that I see both sides of the story; on a quiet island with little industry\, forcing many people to leave home for work\, you cannot blame them for wanting to survive and support their families. There was not a great understanding of damaging a species towards extinction. All that the local people knew was survival. I wanted to shine a light on the days gone by by recording as many first-hand accounts and stories as possible. While some community members recall ‘the glory days of the shark fishing’\, others mourn the loss of these magnificent\, harmless giants of the ocean.” \nProudly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland\, the live presentation of the Achill Island\, Basking Shark Fishermen project includes audio-visuals by producer John Michael Berry\, and traditional and newly composed Irish music by Graham Sweeney (guitar and vocals)\, Lisa Fukuda (fiddle) and Johnny Butler (uilleann pipes). These musicians are part of The Achill Sound and have a personal connection to keeping history and culture alive. \nThe story of Achill Island’s basking shark fishing industry is beautifully explored in this unique piece incorporating traditional and visual art forms\, to create an immersive live musical performance capturing an important historical chapter of Achill Island’s and Ireland’s marine heritage. \nTickets €25/€20 on eventbrite \n.

SUMMARY:By the Light of the Silvery Moon
DESCRIPTION:16+ Show \n“A special evening of Irish Stories for grown-ups told through words\, sounds and music in the bardic style. \nStrongly influenced by previous bards like Raifterian File\, Brian Merriman and Aindrias Mac Cruitín\, this tour will see the wandering bard\, with his rustic violin and other such accompaniment \, Brian Flemming on percussion & Ashling Lyons on harp and concertina\, together they travel the roads of Ireland telling tales and short stories to eager audiences. \n“He’s a waterboy seanchai\, the pied piper of mischief. If he didn’t exist we’d have to invent him because the culture needs spirits like his\, a wayward Irish fiddle playing dream talker“Tommy Tiernan \nAindrias’ style is a fast paced\, lively new approach to the ancient Irish art form\, yet his work is firmly rooted in the traditional storytelling styles of the west of Ireland. Inspired by his work in folklore\, nature\, and the traditional arts\, Aindrias brings us on a journey through tales of villages lost to the sea\, misadventures of wandering musicians\, humorous recitations\, abridged folkloric myths\, and of course his own self-penned outrageous tales of otherworldly events. \nBy the Light of the Silvery Moon is a new experience in storytelling. \n“A pioneer in the revival of traditional storytelling\, Aindrias has become one of the key figures in the mining\, exploration & presentation of Irish Stories & Mythology. He breathes new life into the old tales – infusing them with musicality\, rhythm and his unique insights on life. “ \nManchan Mangan \n  \nTickets €20 & €25 HERE

SUMMARY:Padraig Jack
DESCRIPTION:  \nRTE Folk Music Awards nominee Padraig Jack Ó Flaithearta delivers a totally engaging performance which comprises a series of moments which are supported by his disarming charm\, wit\, perspectives on society\, Irish history and of course top quality songs in both English and Irish.

SUMMARY:Clann Mhic Ruairí - Áras Éanna
DESCRIPTION:Clann Mhic Ruairí are an Irish folk/trad band. They are a family group\, made up of siblings Tony (singer)\, Aodh (singer/guitar)\, Sean (singer)\, Dónall (singer/percussion) and Tony’s daughter Megan (piano and singer). As a family they were raised on the Gaelic songs and stories of the ‘Rann na Feirste Gaeltacht’ in County Donegal\, (Gaelic speaking area) in the North West corner of Ireland. Hearing their music gives the listener an insight into this rich culture which they continue to preserve. This corner of Ireland is the birth place of internationally acclaimed artists who have moulded the Irish traditional music scene since the 1970s. Clannad\, Skara Brae\, Altan\, Manus and Dónall Lunny\, to name but a few\, have all blossomed in this area and Clann Mhic Ruairí have now taken up the torch in the hope of conserving and promoting this rich musical culture which lies at the core of their being. The members of Clann Mhic Ruairí are individual artists in their own right\, each member having performed over the years on solo projects and with other artists and groups. In 2013 they decide to formally come together as Clann Mhic Ruairí and the preservation of the song tradition of ‘Rann na Feirste’ is foremost in their mind. Much of their repertoire are songs which were composed and sung in their locality for hundreds of years. They perform these traditional songs with a contemporary\, innovative and inspirational approach\, retaining the traditional purity and integrity of the song \nTiceid: €20/€25 ar fáil anseo \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n

SUMMARY:Julie Feeney
DESCRIPTION:Julie Feeney\nJulie Feeney’s sell-out shows have riveted audiences and critics all over the world. She performs as solo\, duo\, with ensemble\, with choirs or with full orchestra. She composes\, arranges and orchestrates all of her own music and writes all of her words. Her three albums have been widely critically acclaimed. She is winner of the Choice Music Prize for ‘Irish Album of the Year’ for her self-produced debut album 13 Songs. Her third album Clocks went straight to No. 1 in the Independent Irish Album Charts on its Irish release. It was voted ‘Best Album’ in The Irish Times ‘Album of the Year’ and it was also shortlisted for the Choice Music Prize. \nIn her live shows she combines her “mesmerizing stage presence and eccentric pop genius” (Hot Press) with her unquestionably original sound; and her innovative\, avant-garde approach\, while rooted in classical music\, straddles both the pop and theatrical worlds. \nJulie is a true artist with immense vision. Sharp witted\, unpretentious and fiercely passionate she is a genuine artist and a hugely enjoyable performer. This ‘not to be missed’ concert will see Julie performing music from her 3 albums and will be accompanied by the brilliant Cormac De Barra with whom she has performed with regularly over the years. \nÁras Éanna are delighted to have Julie as an Artist in residence for the month of August.

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
