Len Graham with Brian O'hAirt and, Oisin McAuley and Noel Scott
Irish traditional singers Len Graham and Brian Ó hAirt are bearers of stories, songs, music, lilting and sean-nós dancing from both the duet singing tradition of Ulster and the lyrical sean-nós singing tradition of western Co. Galway. Both singers weave their unique talents into the "one" tradition to create a truly magical experience not often found outside of Ireland.
Donegal fiddler Oisín McAuley of famed Irish traditional group Danú brings music for the highlands of Ireland to the Burren with the help of accordionist Noel Scott. Their pairing of instruments represents the very living world of Irish 'trad' music while exploring the fringe of tradition with tunes from Brittany, Quebec and beyond.
This will prove to be an unforgettable night of pairings of traditions and musicians unlike anything you've heard.
The Burren Backroom series is now well established as one of the great trad series in the world, and looks to create intimate, informal presentations held in the atmospheric space created by well-known traditional musicians Tommy and Louise McCarthy in Davis Square, Somerville, Masachusetts.
Hosted by Brian O'Donovan of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH radio, these gatherings will feature core performers from many aspects of traditional music as well as special guests, and conversations around the music. As is the custom of the Burren, it is anticipated informal and dynamic post concert sessions will be a feature.
There is a $5 discount for WGBH Members. If you are a member, send an e-mail to celtic@wgbh.org and we will send you the code.
