MUSICAL
TRADITIONS CLUB WINTER 2009
***********************************************************************
Friday 16th January 2009
SAM LEE and LAUREN
McCORMICK
Fresh voices and a fresh approach to traditional song to
begin the New Year. Fast rising stars of the latest revival, Sam has
become apprenticed to the great traveller singer Stanley Robertson who is
passing
on his legacy of ballads, while Lauren has a beautiful voice
and has been developing her distinctive solo singing (after The Devil’s
Interval) as well as duetting with Sam.
Plus banjo tunes from Ed Hicks and Friends
TWO DATES IN FEBRUARY
Friday 6th February
SARA GREY and KIERON MEANS
New
Englander Sara is truly remarkable singer of the old ballads, prefacing the
songs with fascinating background stories. Her distinguished frailing style on
the banjo shows just how this instrument should be played. Kieron, Sara's son, a
brilliant guitar player, has a strikingly individual sound. His material draws
from the deepest wellsprings of North American culture and the work of
latter-day songwriters steeped in the old traditions. With Will Duke and
Dan Quinn
Friday 20 February
Máire NÃÊ Chéileachair and Dónal
Maguire
Brilliant singer from Co.Cork, Máire NÃÊ
Chéileachair sings classic songs in Irish and English and her first
CD Guth ar Fán won high praise from the late Paddy
Tunney.
Dónal is a fine exponent of the high Irish style and puts
across ballads with great power, several of which he collected in his
native Co. Louth. He is also noted for his ready wit and is recognised as a
great player of Irish dance music on mandolin and tenor banjo.
With American old-time songs and tunes from Gail Williams and
Jim Younger.
