A GREAT trad music and storytelling concert is coming up in Lorrha which all lovers of good music should try and get along to.
Trad musicians Rennie Pearson and Lúan will bring an evening of tunes, songs and storytelling to The Shed at the Friars Tavern in the village on hursday 17th September at 8pm.
Drawing on traditions from Ireland, Scotland and beyond, alongside original compositions, the duo combine wooden flute, bouzouki, whistles, fiddle, bodhrán and voice in a performance that moves between driving tunes, airs, songs and stories gathered from across the folk tradition alongside original material. Their concerts feature stunning musicianship and finely crafted arrangements that take the audience on a journey.
Originally from New Zealand, Rennie Pearson is a flute player, singer and composer whose music is deeply rooted in the traditions of Ireland, Scotland and Maritime Canada. Performing on wooden flute, whistles, fiddle, guitar, bodhrán and voice, he brings storytelling and history into the music to create performances that have connected with audiences around the world.
Lúan (also known as Ciarán de Búrca) is a Galway-based folk musician who brings together traditional influences with a background in rock and metal. A bouzouki player and singer, he performs in both English and Irish, drawing on a repertoire of lesser-known folk songs and tunes shaped by years on the Galway trad and folk circuit.
If you want to take some time out from the difficulties and anxieties of life then this evening of musicmaking and storytelling will be just the ticket.
