MUSICAL TRADITIONS CLUB AUTUMN 2014
***************************************************************
Maggie Boyle is a singer and flute player with a highly impressive
catalogue of live and recorded work, including
Patriot Games film title track
and collaborations with The Chieftains, Bert Jansch, Steve Tilston and Rambert
Dance Company.
"Maggie
has a spell-binding, intoxicating quality in her voice which is extremely
distinctive - must be the Irish in her.....a rare thing in today's music
world." Bert Jansch http://www.maggieboyle.co.uk/
Paul Downes has been described as one
of the greatest acoustic guitarists. He performs in a dazzling array of styles
with effortless brilliance, but considers himself a singer of songs, rather than a guitar
technician. Their new album Won't You
Come Away has garnered brilliant reviews.
Maggie is a London Irish singer whose
musical roots were nourished in the musically vibrant community of the 1970s
and especially in her youth by the tuition of Oliver Mulligan, who hosts this
very special evening.
