MNÁ
Róisín Chambers: (Amhránaí agus Fidléir),Mairéad MacNeil- McManus (Feadóg Mhóir),Katie Boyle (Fidil),Julia Howard(Bouzuki)
A collaboration of four musicians and friends, all steeped in the richness of traditional Irish Music.
Tonight’s band will lead the audience through a showcase of tradional sean nos songs and tunes drawn from their heritage and influences of Dublin, Connemara, Donegal and Fermanagh.
Born and bred in Dublin, Roisin comes from a family of musicians and grew up surrounded by Irish music, language and culture. She learnt her music at Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann in Dublin and was lucky to have legendary singers and teachers at her doorstep including Una Ban nic Mhathuna and Seamus macMathuna who have a huge impact on her musical journey. She has won honors at fleadhanna cheoil and performed on stages both nationally and beyond with various bands including Salsa Celtica and the Bonny Men.
Boyle, Reid and McManus owe much of their music to the celebrated Glasgow Irish Minstrel’s branch of Comhaltas. Irish Minstrels shaped the foundations for their musicianship which has been fundamental in shaping the raw traditional styles that they are drawn to. Joining forces with the sean nos singing of Chambers will display a balance between the intricacies of song and a good measure of powerful tunes.
