The Celtic Music Association (CMA), masters of traditional music series Presents in Conert: Andrew Mac Namara http://www.andrewmacnamara.com, Orla Harrington & Ged Foley Andrew’s joyous and individual button accordion style has electrified audiences around the globe. From his years with famed Tulla Ceili band to the present, he has earned a reputation as one whoplays the pure drop, tightly, and with great lift and energy. Orla’s fiddle is a perfect counterpoint to Andrew’s accordion. She spent her formative years developing and nurturing two art-forms, traditional Irish music and dance. From session music and dance competition, folk festivals, and touring with Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance, she has honed her skills to a fine art. Ged has been a member of the great trad bands of our time, from Battlefield Band to the House Band to Patrick Street and Celtic Fiddle Festival, he is a master. In addition to his extraordinary guitar playing Ged is a strong and unaffected singer, and a superb fiddler as well. A trio sure to please and bound to delight! Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 day of show and will be available at Spruce Tree Music, Orange Tree Imports, the Willy St Coops, and The Brink Lounge or online at www.BrownPaperTickets.com |
