The Kane Sisters WITH Pat O'Connor and Eoghan O'Sullivan
A Festival of Pure Drop Traditional Irish Music.
Wow! This is something I have dreamed about for a while. Pure Drop Trad at its VERY BEST. And on the same night! In the Backroom. Oh my!
Liz and Yvonne Kane, are much respected musicians and educators. Born in Letterfrack, North Connemara. They were educated in Kylemore Abbey School and first came to national and international prominence during the three year period in which they toured with accordion player, Sharon Shannon as members of her band, The Woodchoppers. Brilliant twin fiddling and often in unison, they create a unique and rooted sound. Take a listen...
Ok. (be still my aching heart!), Pat Connor (Feakle) and Eoghan O'Sullivan (Mitchelstown) come together for some tunes as naturally as if they were at a session in the back of Pepper's Bar, or any good Irish pub in the world for that matter. The ease of their music and the way they present it will invite you to the very soul of the tradition.
What a night this will be! What a night! The Burren Backroom series is now well established as one of the most sought-after boutique series of trad presentation in the world. It has already created already dozens of memorable, intimate, informal presentations held in a truly atmospheric space which was founded by well-known traditional musicians Tommy McCarthy and Louise Costello in Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts.
Hosted by Brian O'Donovan of A Celtic Sojourn on WGBH radio, these gatherings 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.
Ticket prices vary and 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.
Seating is VERY limited and these events have been selling out, so get your tickets today!
