TWO IRISH NIGHTS at MUSICAL TRADITIONS CLUB

************************************************************************************************************

Friday 12th October 2012 Oliver Mulligan presents an

unmissable LONDON IRISH NIGHT

The singers : OLIVER MULLIGAN is from Co. Monaghan where his style and many of his songs were learned in the 1950s from local and family singers. He attended Fleadh Ce?il sessions throughout Ireland in the 1960s, becoming All-Ireland champion, and adding a wider range of material including Gaelic songs from the West. He now lives in London where he is a veteran of both the Irish community sessions and the traditional clubs and was a resident of Ewan MacColl's Singers Club for ten years.

CREENA MULCHRONE, a fine young singer from Co.Mayo, is an outstanding student of Rosie Stewart and has won several Fleadh Ce?il awards already.

FINBARR WALL, from a Cavan/Dublin family, a compelling singer with a great repertoire of unusual songs both serious and comic, has introduced several little known songs by contemporary Irish writers and is increasingly renowned for comic songs of his own such as his "Song of the Holloway Road" (where he has lived for 40 years).

The musicians : ?RLAITH McAULIFFE is an inspired young flute player. From a Kerry family, she lives in North London. Many times winner of the all-Ireland Fleadh in her age group, in August 2012 she won the senior slow-air flute competition.

BRENDAN McAULEY is from a Belfast family steeped in music. Both parents were musicians and toured Ireland with travelling shows. A well -respected uilleann piper and multi-instrumentalist, he is also a maker of wooden flutes, whistles and chanters.

Friday 2nd November
