The songs of Donegal
Music Network kicks off its 2006 Autumn Season (September 20-30) with
a nationwide tour celebrating the traditional songs of Donegal featuring
the outstanding talents of Maighread Ní Dhomhnaill (voice), Tríona
Ní Dhomhnaill (voice and keyboard) and Tony McManus (guitar, Scotland).
Prepare for a night to remember as two of the greatest living sean nós
singers, Maighread and Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill, hook up with
Tony McManus, a spellbinding performer who has almost single-handedly
redefined guitar playing in Celtic music.
Music Network tours are funded by the Arts Council and are presented in
association with The Irish Times and RTÉ Lyric FM. Further information
from Music Network at (01) 671 9429 or www.musicnetwork.ie
Unfortunately Music Network doesn’t organise concerts in Britain
— it would be interesting if a music promoter in Britain were to
approach Music Network to ascertain if similar tours could be undertaken
in some of the major cities in Britain.
