MUSICAL TRADITIONS CLUB NOVEMBER /DECEMBER 2014                                 

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

       

FRIDAY 14th NOVEMBER

      KATHLEEN O'SULLIVAN and BILLY TEARE

Born in the East End of London, Kathleen learned to sing from her mother and all her family sang

and played traditional Irish music. She toured with The London Lasses for many years before

 returning to her unaccompanied roots.  Kathleen's solo album Born on St Patrick's Day was

recorded at home, by her fireside. 

      Storyteller Billy Teare resides in Larne, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland.  From his teens he worked

 on the tough Belfast comedy circuit.   Billy has appeared on the big screen, stage, TV and radio in

guises ranging from chicken hypnotist to jester.   Billy Teare and Kathleen O'Sullivan have gained a

formidable reputation as a story and song combination and have recently co-authored a popular

volume of Antrim Folk Tales published by The History Press, Ireland.
