SUMMARY:MOYA BRENNAN | ZOË CONWAY & JOHN MCINTYRE
DESCRIPTION:Celtic Goddess Moya Brennan has a voice that continues to provide a constant reminder of how the heart can be touched by the purity and thrill of music. Despite the enforced restrictions placed on her and all other artists in the past couple of years she has been active\, especially\, with the Farewell Tour of her family band\, Clannad. Their sell out concert at Dublin’s 3 Arena in February 2023 was an emotional part of the final tour climax after 50 years together. \nHer live solo shows\, having all the musicality and power of Clannad – but with added\, heart-warming intimacy – are always a rich and moving experience. Her unique\, effortless vocals and timeless music pay homage not only to her vibrant traditional Irish heritage but also her grasp of contemporary forms. The evening will be a visual (as well as a sound) spectacle with rhythm\, atmosphere and vibrant harmony. Her fantastic 5 piece band features her daughter\, Aisling\, and son\, Paul\, along with the remarkable traditional harper Cormac De Barra and traditional fiddler Clare Friel from Glasgow/Donegal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n With an exciting blend of eclectic fiddle and guitar music\, Zoë Conway and John McIntyre bring to the stage sympathetic arrangements of traditional Irish music\, compositions and songs\, old and new.  The husband-and-wife folk duo possess a rare facility to draw pieces into their repertoire from other genres such as classical\, jazz and world music and express this material in way which not only displays the sheer range and knowledge of both instrumentalists but also exhibits the wonderful versatility of their instruments. \nThey have released two recordings to date. their debut duo album\, entitled Go Mairir I Bhfad (Long Life To You)\, received a glorious 5 stars from The Irish Times; the newest release is a superb collection of live European performances\, Live in Concert\, released in spring 2017.  The album showcases their mesmerising musical interaction on-stage and reveals some of their more virtuosic repertoire outside of the Irish traditional genre. Relaxed and atmospheric\, the respect and understanding that they have of traditional Irish music and song also shines through. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets available here

SUMMARY:BELFAST HARP FESTIVAL / FÉILE CRUITIRÍ BHÉAL FEIRSTE
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Eilís Lavelle\, Aisling Lyons\, Mary Bergin\, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh (Bean an Tí)\, Gráinne Meyer\, Mary McGuiggan & Pádraic Keane. \nThe Belfast Harp Festival\, called by contemporary writers “The Belfast Harpers Assembly”\, 11–14 July 1792\, was a four-day event organised by merchant class Presbyterians Dr. James McDonnell\, Robert Bradshaw and Henry Joy\, (proprietor of the Belfast News-Letter and uncle to Henry Joy McCracken). Its purpose was to revive an interest in harp music and to collect the music of the harpers and note their style of playing for future generations. What was hoped to be a revival\, proved to be a farewell to the old tradition. Eleven harpers attended. Seven were blind. The eldest\, Denis Hempson (1695 -1807) from Derry\, was 97. He was the only one to use the ancient way of playing with the fingernails. \nBy far the most important thing that happened at the festival was that a young man from Armagh named Edward Bunting (1773-1843)\, was employed to write down the music of the harpers\, and to make notes on their instrumental techniques. He dedicated the rest of his life to collecting and preserving Irish music. He published three volumes of music\, collectively known as the Ancient Music of Ireland. \nWe pay tribute to that event and the Bunting Collection. \nEilís Lavelle hails from County Monaghan. She has collaborated with a wide range of genres and featured on various broadcasts. Eilís is currently undertaking a PhD at Queen’s University\, Belfast focusing on the Edward Bunting collection of music. \nMuireann Nic Amhlaoibh is a multi-award-winning traditional singer and musician and was the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk singer of the year 2022. Her upbringing in Corca Dhuibhne in West Kerry saw her immersed in a rich cultural environment influencing the foundation of her distinctive vocal and instrumental sound. \nGráinne Meyer is a County Antrim based composer\, harpist and pianist. Gráinne most recent winner of the World Music Competition following performances at Wales International Harp Festival 2023. She will perform with a ensemble of her local students. \nAisling Lyons is a multi-award-winning musician and composer from county Clare. She is the holder of 8 All-Ireland titles\, has performed internationally and collaborated with distinguished artists and musicians in various projects. \nMary Bergin is considered the worlds greatest tin whistle player and was born into a very musical family. She began playing at an early age winning many awards in Oireachtas and Fleadh Ceoil competitions\, including the All-Ireland Championships at Junior and Senior level. \nPádraic Keane was awarded TG4 Young Musician of the Year (2011). He has collaborated with various artists including Ragús\, The Irish Chamber Orchestra\, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin\, RTE Concert and Symphony Orchestras and many more. \nMary McGuiggan hails from County Derry and has been dancing since she was four years old\, learning her dance steps from May Allen. Mary has had success in competition at local\, Ulster and All-Ireland levels. \n  \nVenue & Event Information: \n\n\nThis venue is fully wheelchair accessible (https://crescentarts.org/about/plan-visit/accessible-facilities) \n\n\nFully Seated \n\n\nAll ages (u16 accompanied by an adult) \n\n\nTickets available here
