Unfortunately, Colm O'Caoimh could not make the trip due to scheduling problems but Patrick Doocey - who recently toured with Lunasa - as agreed to step in. Mick McAuley, perhaps best known for his almost 15 years of work with Solas, is no stranger to lovers of traditional music - and increasingly, song - around the world.
As a duo, they promise to expand the song repertoire while still rockin' the tunes.
One of those nights I am personally really looking forward to.
Take a listen to Mick singing "Sailing Back to You."
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!
