Jimmy
Crowley at Walthamstow Folk
Sunday 9
October
It has been WAY
too long since we last had a visit from Jimmy Crowley!
Jimmy Crowley
is a central figure in the Irish folk scene. A tradition
bearer, ethnographer and Gaelic language enthusiast and also as a
stylish songwriter in his own right.
"Jimmy is a
living legend in Irish Folk music. He comes from Cork, in the south of
Ireland, a city whose musical richness mirrors the city's diversity - a
great trad music and song heritage as well as a legacy from music-hall
vaudeville and high art musical traditions. Crowley draws on all of
these traditions in fashioning his own unique performance
style..." ~
Mick Moloney
"For me, he
embodies all that is good and true about the music in which we are
involved." ~ Martin
Carthy
