Dervish

One of Ireland's all-time best traditional bands, Dervish makes their eagerly-awaited return to Santa Cruz celebrating the recent release of their 10th CD, 'Travelling Show.' Having received numerous 'band of the Year' and Album of the Year' awards, Dervish's high-octane, incendiary instrumentals are ignited by button accordion, fiddle, flute, bouzouki, guitar and bodhran and showcase the soaring, sultry singing of Cahty Jordan, whose masterful stage presence, stories and interaction with the audience draw people into the music in a way very few performers can achieve. Dervish has been hailed in 'The irish Times' as 'a formidable heir to throne abandoned by The Bothy Band, if not a contender for The Chieftains' international space... simply a brilliant and uncluttered testimonial to music imagination and talent.'
