Dear Member,
Hope to see you on Friday.
All the best,
Peta  & Ken  

                              MUSICAL TRADITIONS CLUB     WINTER  2009
 
***********************************************************************


                                 TWO DATES IN FEBRUARY
 
Friday 6th February
SARA GREY and KIERON MEANS
New Englander Sara is a 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 Ní Chéileachair and Dónal Maguire
 Brilliant  singer from Co.Cork,  Máire Ní 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.
