Phantom Button Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Mairead Hurley is from the well-known musical family in Ballymote. She is an exceptional player and anyone in the SF Bay Area that loves Irish trad concertina shouldn't miss this opportunity to see her performing in a great setting. Mairead Hurley & Nathan Gourley met in Dublin, Ireland & bonded over cider, similar last names & a love for old-school traditional Irish music. They play unusual traditional tunes in a sweet yet lively style that will leave even the laziest toes tapping! Mairead, hailing from Sligo, Ireland is an All-Ireland champion on concertina. She has toured worldwide-her most recent musical adventures being on the vibrant folk scene in Australia. Nathan on fiddle is a household name in the Irish music scene in North America, having performed with Chulrua, Dáithí Sproule of Altan and California's own Joey Abarta. As a duo, these two will entrance, entertain and certainly impress! They will be joined on the night by cheeky New York/Mayo flute player Brian Holleran, whose infectious flute style is comparable to an Ebola outbreak-unexpected, powerful and fast! Expect tunes, cheesy jokes & an evening of fun!Contact Jack Gilder for more info and reservations. Address for the venue will be given upon reservation. $15 donation requested. This will be a fabulous event for anyone who loves Irish trad music and particularly the concertina. jgilder@tipsyhouse.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
