Blas Presents
Matt Molloy, John Carty
& Arty McGlynn
Wednesday, July 4 at 9 PM - 12 AM UTC+01
Dolans Pub
4 Dock Road, Limerick, Ireland Ireland
The 22nd Blas International Summer School of Irish Traditional Music and Dance proudly presents Matt Molloy, John Carty & Arty McGlynn as part of their public concert series in Upstairs Dolans Pub, Limerick City.
One of the most exciting Trad combinations of recent times, Matt Molloy and John Carty explore the rich and varied tapestry of the fiddle and flute tradition of North Connaught. They are delighted to be joined by Ireland’s number one guitar player, Arty McGlynn.
Considered by many as the greatest flute player of our time, Matt Molloy has been a member of The Chieftains for over three decades and was also a founding member of the legendary Bothy Band. His solo albums, as well as his trio recording with Tommy Peoples and Paul Brady in the late 70’s brought flute playing to a new level.
John Carty’s musical prowess has grown steadily since his debut recording 20 years ago and he has since produced a plethora of solo recordings. A member of the bands At the Racket and Patrick Street, John finds himself in constant demand as a musician and teacher. Both Matt and John are recipients of the prestigious TG4 Traditional Musician of the Year Award.
Arty is without question the finest guitar player in Ireland with a unique understanding of the music he performs. His first solo album, McGlynn's Fancy, was the first recording where the guitar is played in an authentic traditional style, and as such has been hailed as a classic in the traditional music world. His subtle and imaginative guitar playing is the perfect accompaniment to this unique duet.

Mná na bhFidleacha - The Donegal Female Fiddlers
The fiddle has long been associated with County Donegal, but apart from a few relatively well-known, a large cohort of the female fiddlers of the county have remained hidden in the background. This extraordinary concert brings together, for the first time, 13 of the finest female fiddlers either from Donegal, associated with Donegal or residing in Donegal. It represents a mere tip of the iceberg of a huge quantity of quality female fiddlers around the county and just the start of a Donegal female fiddle showcasing revolution! The lineup for today’s special lunchtime concert is Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Bríd Harper, Liz Doherty, Roisin McGrory (Harrigan), Clare Friel, Melanie Houton, Theresa Kavanagh, Aisling Drost-Byrne, Tara Connaghan, Denise Boyle, Claire Gallagher, Clódagh Warnock and Eimear McColgan.

A Nordic Midwinter

The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc
with
The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc
- Saturday, December 15 at 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM UTC
- Cecil Sharp House
2 Regents Park Road, NW1 7AY London, United Kingdom - The long nights are a very special time in Nordic countries. In this seasonal concert, the three fiddlers will each lead tunes from their own country—Norway, Sweden and Shetland—and share some of the tradition of their regions and their families, bringing the warmth of the fireside with tunes played for good cheer amid the snow and darkness. And you can also expect some of the trio's usual favourite tunes with their friendly intercountry rivalry and onstage warmth!
The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc is Kevin Henderson (Shetland), Anders Hall (Sweden) and Olav Luksengård Mjelva (Norway). Each is a master fiddler in their own tradition, and together they produce wonderful harmonies and arrangements.
