SATURDAY
MAY 1
CONOR HALL 8.00PM
Cathal, Gerry, Gino and Kevin are back! Joined by special
guest Mairtin O'Connor this is their only Belfast visit this
year. They bring their magnificent mix of traditional rhythms
and sweeping country, with more than a tincture of Tijuana
hallucinogens thrown in.
O'Connor and Hayden are two of the most-rounded fiddle and
banjo players south of the Mason-Dixon Line or east of the
Pale. As for Doherty, his lineage stretches from Hank Williams
to Joe Cooley - Delta blues from Buncranna. Lupari is that
rare breed: an Italo-Magherafeltian, and his bodhrán
is no more than a daisy in a bull's mouth.
Rafters will be raised, sweat will pour from unspeakable locations;
this will be a night to remember with a band whose reincarnation
is complete. Glorius mayhem to savour.
Tickets £10.00 from the Festival office on 028
9023 2403 and from Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 9024 6609

and Martin Quinn are a brilliant banjo and box duo who restore

The jigs and reels will be flying as we celebrate the release
of their self titled CD which has already been rapturously
received in traditional circles.
