SUMMARY:Harp Sessions at The Sugar Club | Gemma Doherty and Alannah Thornburg
DESCRIPTION:The Sugar Club Harp Sessions features the most exciting\, cool harpers – some with friends – who are pushing the boundaries of Irish harping. \nExperience a new ‘take’ on Irish harping from some of our foremost young harpers. Cruit Éireann | Harp Ireland’s Sugar Club Harp Sessions feature innovative\, cutting-edge Irish harp performances from players who are pushing the boundaries of the tradition in new and exciting ways. \nOur Sugar Club Harp Sessions concert on Saturday 24th May features Alannah Thornburgh and Gemma Doherty. \nAlannah Thornburgh is an award-winning harper and composer. Her music explores her family’s musical heritage\, reimagining ancient airs and tunes from the Irish harping and American folk & jazz traditions. This cross-genre interaction and juxtaposition of old melodies with contemporary harmonies and technique\, carries through her original compositions\, creating an innovative style described as ‘unforced\, fluid & utterly at home in her own sound’ (The Irish Times). Alannah released her debut album ‘Shapeshifter’ in February. \nAlannah is a founding member of the band Alfi\, a trio who combine music & song sourced from the folk traditions of Ireland & America to produce a unique sound described as “beautiful\, tear-jerking musicianship” (Bristol in Stereo). \nGemma Doherty is a composer\, harper and singer from Derry City. Currently working on her first solo album\, she combines contemporary with experimental Irish folk/traditional\, centering around the harp with electronics and effects. As one half of electronic-folk duo Saint Sister\, she has released two critically acclaimed albums – receiving Best Album in N.I. Music Prize and nominations for Album of the Year in Choice Music Prize and RTÉ Folk Awards. Recent screen work includes additional composition on Kneecap (Feature)\, Ogham\, Fadó Fadó (Shorts)\, Camera Tripod Bicycle (TV Doc). She performed with Bono on his 23-date Stories of Surrender tour\, and has worked with artists such as Lisa Hannigan\, SOAK\, Crash Ensemble\, Villagers\, Denise Chaila and Rachael Lavelle.
